Not too long ago I fixed some bugs in channel reduction/recording part of the oss-emulation layer (kernel modules). It seemed clear to me that the code had not been tested, since the problems were kind of "in your face". What kind of test suite does ALSA have? One useful thing for testing, or so it seems to me, would be a fake soundcard driver that gets it's data from a file (or writes to a file) rather than from/to a physical device. That way, to test the functionality of the oss-emulation layer, or another library routine, you can feed known files to the fake soundcard driver and compare what comes out the other end with what ought to be coming out. Of course this only tests the high-level library routines, not drivers for particular sound cards, but it should be possible, easy to automate, and useful. What do you think?
