Hi,
you may have noticed that I've always sent patches for the 3 audio drivers that I consider current and mostly up to date: + winealsa + wineoss + winecoreaudio and never for one of the other ones which I consider obsolete. - winejack - wineesd - winenas
Sometimes I've been wondering whether I should include and take care of winejack too, although I've neither the jack development package nor do I know or use any software that uses Jack.
As for the others, I really consider them obsolete and never look at them. This is not entirely satisfactory, as I've been blaming (in thoughts) the one or other developer who in the past fixed a bug in one of the drivers without fixing the same bug in the other ones... Code continues to diverge...
What do you think? - Why did people submit patches to one driver only when a short glance shows that the same bug is in the other cloned drivers too? - Is WineJack "current" and worth some effort? - Let the others continue to decay? - Remove them from git?
Please don't shout for maintenance by others too early: how much time do *you* invest in making Wine better?
