Are there any particular reasons that the authors of gstreamer believe that all of the existing audio APIs are unacceptable, or is this yet another case of the NIH syndrome that GNOME and KDE developers seem to suffer from all too frequently? And if there are problems with the existing APIs, what reason do we have to think that gstreamer will get it right? If people have issues with the existing sound daemons, their time could almost certainly be better spent working on the implementations /behind/ the APIs instead of creating the sound library du jour. It seems a terrible waste of programmer time to try to maintain as many as four library layers interposed between Wine programs and the audio hardware.

Another Potential Slave... I mean Programmer
by Joe Tennies Feb. 2, 2002

Feb. 2, 2002

I am considering writing a Wine Driver for esd. I am wondering basically where I start. I know esd is high latency (which may not be the best for such a thing), but I think it would be easier than trying to do alsa drivers. (I know ALSA has oss compatible drivers, but I can't get them to do a thing under wine... do work uner other programs.) Anyways, that leads me to here and me trying to help. Joe Tennies
