------- Additional Comments From reif@earthlink.net 2005-11-11 09:57 ------- The Windows mixer API is missing from winealsa. Someone needs to write code which implements the Windows mixer API and makes the proper translations to the ALSA API. I believe this is true for all audio drivers except OSS which already has this implemented. One way to do this is to port the existing OSS implementation to ALSA. This is how the existing ALSA driver and all the other audio drivers started out. Unfortunately it causes a lot of code duplication and causes generic bug fixes in one driver to not make it into all the other drivers. There was a discussion in the past of refactoring the audio drivers to a common Windows driver API frontend with hardware specific backends but this is a lot of work.
