ALSA driver

[Marco Pietrobono]

  Hi,

  I'm starting to work on a native ALSA driver for wine. Since I
remember that Marcus was working (or was planning to work) an that one
too, I would like to know if there is already something to work on or to
contribute to, or if I need to start from scratch.

  If there is nothing already written, I would like to discuss what kind
of approach we should use with ALSA programming, since FWIK there should
be two way to use it: we can use the ALSA devices directly, just like it
has been done with OSS, or we can use the alsalib to avoid all direct
references to the kernel devices and ioctl, but this solution will add a
dependency on the alsalib library itself to wine. Of course, we could
add a configure option/check to allow its use at compilation time,
but...

  BTW, Alsalib is LGPL, so the license shouldn't be a problem.

  bye,

Strange game.
The only winning move 
is not to play.
What about a nice play of chess ?
