I would be interested in developing a low level driver for my sound card, which is not yet supported by ALSA. I have 21 years programming experience with various operating systems and languages. I have never written a Linux or Unix program. My C is a little rusty too. I've never done any audio or driver programming, though I'm a musician and have experience of various audio applications as a user. I'm willing to learn. I do have several years experience programming for PCs (under the other operating system) and I have done a great deal of "systems programming" type of development. So, as of now, I don't see why I should not be able to learn to do well at developing an ALSA sound card driver.
Is it reasonable for me to volunteer to develop a driver? Or would you advise me develop my Linux programming skills in another way first? If you would encourage me to develop a driver, then I could do with a few pointers to get me started, please. I had a quick look at the two Developer Documentation howtos on the ALSA web site, but did not spot anything in them specific to drivers. My sound card is a LynxONE, made by Lynx Studio Technology http://www.lynxstudio.com/. There is an OSS driver for it, but it is not free, and anyway I could not get it to work under SuSE Linux 8.0. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
