I find that ALSA is inadequate for my needs and so I will have to abandon it. I need real-time response and the ability to handle multiple computer generated sounds simultaneously. I have wasted too much time trying to get programs to react through ALSA, it apparantly was designed with a mind-set on playing music files. I do not play music files and have no use for all the media players. The programs that I am writing will not be playing a music file. I know what has to be done and how to do it, but I know from ALSA history that it is not worth the effort to make such suggestions. The latest incident was when I submitted some suggested inclusions for an INSTALL doc, that would help some users avoid the trouble I had, and I got flamed at for my trouble. Suggestions are received with anger, direct questions are given the silent brush-off, there is no attempt to even discuss the subject raised, so I expect the ususal rude and flaming knee-jerk, 10 seconds of thought, non-responsive, responses from the usual people. I know that the ALSA responders will not like hearing that, but what point would there be in painting over the facts and feelings now. It was useless and rude to reply entire long emails, just to bury some snipe comments in it, while totally ignoring the question and subject raised. I have read other alsa-user email treated the same way; and while it is not universal among all responders, it is persistantly present from some. ... I have waited to see how I felt after a while, ..... and how I feel is that it is not worth the aggravation and frustration to try again.

ALSA is having alot of problems due to mislabeled mixer controls, and not a word that would show that any developer even recognizes the problem. --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
