thats why i wrote "inertia-bound companies". they don't see this. they think that linux support means more of an investment. it can do, of course, but it doesn't have to. they also don't understand that if someone else writes a GPL'ed driver, *they* can take a copy later and work it (or a fork, if necessary) back into their newly-emerging "official" linux support. --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
