I've just a little doubt. From what I've understood from the alsa-devel list, it seems that the ALSA 0.5 has been declared dead almost officially. They are not supporting it anymore, more over they are actively pushing the new 0.9 interface and library. IIRC, they want to get out a rc1 next week, or like. BTW, It's been quite a while that I'm using ALSA 0.9, so I can try to port your code to it. [snip] > then, an ALSA final should be written.

It seems that the next versions of SuSE and Mandrake will contain ALSA 0.9, I don't know Red Hat plans on this one, as well as others' but I can check... bye, /pietrobo - -- Stud.
