- Restoring vmix loop devices. Without vmix_numloops, quite a few cards would
not be able to record "what-you-hear" (ac97 devices have 'vol' recording
source, everything else will fail?).
- vmix default device autoconfig can be improved:
In 4.0, there were two methods for setting default card:
A. Linking to /dev/dsp
B. vmix_masterdev (Though autodetect usually worked).
If vmix is integrated to osscore, can't it be made so that the device linked to
/dev/dsp always gets a vmix attached?
Or maybe now that vmix can dynamically allocate devices, we could have vmix
attach to all outputs (except high end devices which can disable it, as they do
now?), but have it create zero engines except on default output?
- Getting USB hotplugin working correctly under Linux (w/o ossdetect -d) would
be apperciated by users.
Yours,
Yair K.
