A version of squeezeslave compiled against alsa-lib 1.17a and portaudio
snapshot from May 13, 2008 is available for testing on sourceforge. 
This release also supports OSS and if you have the alsa oss modules
loaded you'll see as the final entry in the output devices list
/dev/dsp.  If you choose this device you'll be using aoss and not the
native alsa devices.

This release contains changes to the command line parameter parsing and
options.  Run squeezeslave with -h for the current parameter options. 
Also the choosen output device is marked with an asterisk to the left
of the device name.  Please report any issues to this thread.

Thanks goes to KeyzerSuze for creating the portaudio v19 patch.  I've
integrated that patch.  Squeezeslave can now be compiled against either
v18 or v19 by adding a define at compile time.  For more details see the
ChangeLog file in the 0.8-20 source tarball.

The audio output via alsa through portaudio v19 is not as "smooth" as
the older version.  You might notice the occasional "drop out". 
KeyzerSuze had been working on this but I haven't heard of any progress
as of late, so I've released this version to the community to help shake
it down.  The alternative is to remove the portaudio library from the
linux version and add native alsa support, leaving the other versions
to use the v18.1.  This would be ideal for me as the new version no
longer supports Solaris audio devices and Solaris SPARC on a Sun Ray is
where I use squeezeslave the most.
