Hi all, It appeared to be a good time to release the first OSS v4.1 build 1050 (AKA the ID6 version). This version is now available both from the hg server and the stable directory of the source code download server.
However precompiled binaries are not available yet. We will make them available later (January?) after after fixing some problems in the few closed source drivers. What is new? The OSS API itself has not changed much. Few additions were made to the mixer API to support GUI features such as tooltips and volume sliders that are colored like the jacks at the back of the sound card. Large number of fixes have been made since v4.0 build 1010/1012 where development actually got shifted to the v4.1 tree. Most notable changes have been restructuring the vmix subsystem and addition of the oss_userdev loopback driver (or actually this should be called a subsystem too). However the last v4.0 build (1016) actualy had many features backported from v4.1 so the differences betweeb b1016 and 1050 (v4.1-final) are not that big. What next? The idea is to focus just on polishing of v4.1 during the next few weeks. After that it's time to fork v4.2 and start new hacking. I would expect that most work to be done before v4.2 will be spent on MIDI support and rewrite of the hdaudio driver and parts of the USB audio/MIDI driver(s).
