He he.. Sounds like you're overlooking the guts of the doxygen
documentation :) Click the "Modules" link at the top. That should give
you a better idea. The "PCM (digital audio) interface" is more of a nice
general overview description, "Modules" will give you access to all the
reference stuff. I wonder how many other people make this mistake? It
seems sad that someone would think that that is the only documentation,
when pretty much every function in ALSA has at least a brief blurb about
it (whether that blurb is useful information is another story).
I still think the access to this doxygen information is a little bit
confusing (at least when browsing online). Why isn't it on the API page?
Perhaps we should start considering the ALSA 0.9.0 stuff to be the
current release? It seems like its still being considered "cutting edge"
although it is much improved compared to 0.5.0. Much of the more
prominent documentation listed is fairly outdated. Seems like those
pages need to be re-worked to have the new 0.9.0 stuff as the prominent
links and the old stuff linked only for its historical value.
Many people keep complaining about there not being that much
documentation. Seems to me like there is fairly sufficient "reference"
documentation, although we still suffer from more general overview docs.
Perhaps they don't know about the doxygen stuff, and this would quite
some complaints?
