That version can be built from the sources. It's dependent on Motif (not LessTif), though Bill is working on a GTK version too. More information on prettifying Snd can be found here: http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2001/10/05/snd_partone.html Some of that information has been

Hi all! I just finished installing the new RME Hammerfall in one of the studio's Linux boxes. The install went fine and I managed to load the driver. The problem is that I cannot get the mixer to have any elements (or elems as the alsamixer calls them) which thus makes it un-openable even with

1) Poor documentation That's why we should put some effort to change this. 2) Difficult installation and configuration (not for me, but for users of my software) Of course! This is because Alsa is not a part of the kernel. Once it becomes a part of kernel, it will be the same like OSS in

I think you're lacking a bit in historical perspective. For quite a long time, *most* of the actually useable apps we had came from other unices. When I first came here (1997?), the best soundfile editors I could find were DAP, MiXViews, and Snd. IIRC, *all* of those were developed on SGI

that's very shortsighted. also selfish (in contrast to sharing ideas that are behind linux). I do not see it being that way since there is no way that I could, for instance, write a good Alsa port for crapple architecture when I do not even own one. I see nothing selfish or shortsighted

if we get everyone to switch to alsa, then everyone can share audio interfaces. if we teach everyone how to use LD_PRELOAD and they accept it, then everyone can share audio interfaces without even switching to ALSA. Well this sounds like a win-win situation and we should advertise it as
