Please apologize for the repetition of my question. I probably don't have to tell you that in commercial software engineering I have to deal with hard dead-lines and longer development and test cycles. I guess most of you don't even care... but I think it would be a pity for many people if Sun's Java still wouldn't support ALSA in the next years, just because I did not choose the 0.9.0-compatible way.
If there are other reasons why answers were pretty rare to my following question, please tell me. Being a OSS developer myself I know that commitment is unpopular (and "urgent" requests even more so), but then I'd appreciate at least to hear that you don't have any plans for 0.9.0rc5's compatibility with future versions. -------- Is it more likely that 1) the already changed function prototypes, which are usable by defining ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API, change in future, or 2) that the deprecated functions will be removed ? I am talking here e.g. of snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size() Are there any incompatibilities likely from 0.9.0rc5 to 0.9.0FCS ? Thanks, Florian -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Alsa-devel] save to use new API ? Date: Mon, 04 Nov 2002 11:38:41 -0800 From: Florian Bomers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Sun Microsystems, Inc. To: ALSA devel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, if I released a program now in binary form, is it safer to use the new function prototypes of alsa-lib by defining ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API or better use the old, deprecated ones ? My program compiles with or without, and I'd prefer to use the new API, but I noticed that when I compile against rc5, it doesn't even run with rc4, so I fear that my binary compiled against rc5 won't run with later versions of ALSA lib. Thanks for letting me know.
