I used the example in Lua Programming Gems round p.335, and it seems a good, flexible way to set things up. I really like how smoothly luarocks compiles these C-modules. > Just checking first - is there anyone else working on an alsa module ?

The version that is now 1.00 passes all tests, and I'd be delighted if it could be included in luarocks.org/repositories/rocks ... The rockspec is at: http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/midialsa-1.00-0.rockspec and also below the ~/.sig Doc: http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/midialsa.html Tarball: http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/midialsa-1.00.tar.gz I'm now going to do a translation into Perl xs which should appear in CPAN in two or three weeks, probably as MIDI::ALSA I've cleared the MIDI::ALSA name with comp.lang.perl.modules which is usually the hardest part of creating a new CPAN module :-) Regards, Peter Billam http://www.pjb.com.au [email protected] (03) 6278 9410 "Was der Meister nicht kann, vermöcht es der Knabe, hätt er ihm immer gehorcht?"
