Hi,

Anyone else have anything that they can add ?

- Hardware accelerated direct sound capture driver support using the
Windows CE2 HAL API

The Windows 95 VxD HAL API doesn't support DirectSound capture.
MS added a capture HAL API to Windows CE2 which is available on MDSN.
I borrowed this API for the OSS driver and added support in the Direct
Sound
code to use the standard winmm api or the new one.  Unfortunately, the
driver
side of this isn't finished. I have a version using select for
notifications but select is
not well supported in OSS and the OSS buffer size restrictions
complicate this
even more.  I am still trying to find a solution that is fast and works
under all
conditions but I'm afraid I will need to go back to a timer based
solution (hopefully
just as a fallback).

Thanks,

I've changed it to your definition.

By the way, what does it mean if I have to enable HardwareEmulation in
the dsound config? I found that dsound didn't work out of the box for
me, I had to alter the wine config file otherwise the sound was choppy
and distorted.

Direct Sound can use either the VxD HAL API driver or the winmm API driver
depending on what hardware you have available and will pick the HAL API
if it's supported.  You can set the HardwareAcceleration level to be Emulation

just like in real windows to force using the winmm API.  This is necessary
when
doing full duplex because hardware acceleration is not available yet for
capture.
Your hardware or software may just work better with the winmm driver.

Why isn't that included under the "Add localization to more languages" 
bullet? Are all other parts of Wine already localized to all the 
languages currently supported?

How about this... You send a full list of known "National Language Support"
ToDo's and a order of priority. And if no one objects that is how they 
will be listed :)

I guess my opinion would be to remove bullet 3 (WCMD), and change bullet 
4 (which will now be 3) to "Add localization to more languages and more 
parts of Wine".

Just one quick question - when was it that I became holy keeper of the 
national language support? I have to know those things, as I'm trying to 
keep an up to date resume on, and such a title is bound to land me more 
free-lancer jobs :-).
