then, an ALSA final should be written. As the ALSA interface has greatly evolved between 0.5 and 0.9, the ongoing ALSA driver will need to be rewritten for ALSA 1.0 (aka final). Until Linux 2.6 is out, there will be no need for ALSA 1.0, as most of the current distros ship with either OSS or ALSA 0.5.
Sigh, Suse 8.0 just moved fom 0.5 to 0.9 - the Alsa developers regard 0.9 as more stable and having less bugs than 0.5. Why spend all that time on an obsolete driver? OK, that is mostly the disappointment speaking that I still won't be able to run wine with Alsa.
Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer jmayer@loplof.de I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.
