Come on, there are sndio backends written by others as well, the API is simple and it's documented. But that's not the point. The point is that you can't ask me to postpone fixing other audio stuff in order to work on software I don't use. Especially after I've told you that I don't think it would work very well. If you think it would work well enough for you, or just want to try it then write a sndio backend for pulse. I'll be there to help debugging stuff, explaining parts of the API that are not clear, etc. [...] As we're at it, a more general note: we're a small community; we don't have full-time developpers working on fashionable software. IMHO, having a small set of quality programs that cover all use-cases is more realistic than supporting everything that exists. Spending a lot of time on tons of programs with duplicate funtionalty won't bring us quality. My 2 cents -- Alexandre
