I'd say alsa has nothing to search in the userspace and should just expose hardware. It should not try to provide smart mixing, store per-application volume or decide which channels to mute when a voip connection is established.

I did not even think about packaging it at this point in time. -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
