I got involved with the audio because I wanted to help out, and although there was interest, nobody seemed to have a focused idea for it. No guts, no glory, and all. > One conclusion could be that further audio talk (if any) might be best off > spun off to its own list. I am currently working on RFC2 for that (I wanted it ready for this past Saturday, but it is taking somewhat longer than I anticipated :/ ) but if you want it posted elsewhere, I will be happy to accommodate. I want it to work out, but I don't want to hurt/hamper OGA in any way, either. > As to the discussion itself; I did read most of it but generally came > away from it with the feeling that the voiced criticism was based on a > much more "deeply embedded" view on the open-graphics project than I > personally maintain.

And I would take "Just Works" over the current mess in the graphics industry in a heartbeat. Even if the hardware internals are not open is secondary to me if the interface is fully documented. Maybe I would care more about that if I had my own FAB, but FPGA's are a nice compromise ;) /me fondly remembers his /fully documented/ Commodore 64 :) > As said, peripheral.
