Hi Bill, > Job? Yes, it would be nice if one could have the distribution's setup > routines figure out all of the different combinations of sound card and how > the user wants them all set up. You misunderstood. This is not what I was talking about. I am not repeating everything here. Read the following thread http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=116749763322140&w=2 > But not even the competition does that. The competition has a graphical interface to select the soundcard, correctly ignores sound devices that only have capture streams and has a sane fallback strategy. All of this is missing in Linux. > Ie, your demands were unusual and LInux was able to meet them, admittedly > with some effort to figure out how. Wrong again. I did some very usual stuff and Linux was unable to cope with it. It took me two months and four mailing lists to workaround the current shortcomings. > It is also certainly true that Alsa is in desperate need of documentation. > Why don't you volunteer? Because I already spend 90% of my sparetime with open source projects (just google my name) and I have a wife and a daughter who do not want to let go the remaining 10%.
