I'll definitely second this! I spent about 8 hours yesterday trying to decipher the docs for .asoundrc. Please, someone, write _rigorous_ documentation, i.e. assume nothing, explain _all_ terms and make examples of each concept and construct explicit to that concept or construct, in the _simplest_ possible form. Leave it to others to take these simple examples and combine them into more complex ones. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | | ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
