At least I can play sound from application A to S/PDIF output and simultaneously record input channels 1&2 on my Delta1010. ALSA deadlocks the machine, OSS works. > Only a fool would write a new linux audio app that does not use ALSA, > especially apps that need MIDI. Well, I'm a fool then. I support OSS, ALSA, Comedi (http://www.comedi.org/) and Jack in my apps. Only fool writes app which runs only on Linux, and ALSA is currently Linux-only. I want my app to run on FreeBSD, Solaris and others also. > Ok jackd will probably become the "audio interface" of choice, but jackd > using ALSA is more powerful than in the OSS case, > (talking of pure PCM based apps, with PCM/MIDI apps the advantage is > even more apparent).

I'm not saying that ALSA is bad, but just blindly bashing OSS isn't doing any good for anyone. -- Jussi Laako <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
