I believe fully in ALSA & JACK, but I code in what is the best for the time being. At present, it's best to code for both ALSA and OSS. is JACK fully functional and ready for commercial programs? no. does JACK or ALSA work in other unixen? no. If you have good coding practices and use good, modular design, changing the audio API is easy, so there's no need to look 3 years down the road! If you designed your program well, it will be ready when JACK is. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
