not quite. ALSA was never going to put mixing into the kernel (and the kernel guys would likely not have accepted it, since the reasons to do so are not reasons they accept as justifications for kernel designs like this). It was always intended to be done in user space, and has been (by esound, arts, JACK, Pulse, dmix and possibly more). the only real issue is that there isn't a *single* way to do it. now that we sort of understand a timer-based mechanism for driving an audio API, its not impossible that one day there will be just one way. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
