Greetings List, on various places on the alsa site I read about the possibility of writing a userspace device driver. I am interested thatin, since I have a nice Edirol FA-66 ieee1394 interface which works nicely under jack with the ffado (http://ffado.org , former freebob) driver. >From what I read it seems I could either write an external plugin to the alsa-lib, which would be truly userspace and fine except I it would always have to be configured from .asoundrc and would probably not be found by legacy programs like ekiga. Or I could get really messy and have a userspace daemon relay audio data between the ffado library, i.e. librawieee1394, and a yet to be written alsa-driver module. This would at least yield the advantage, that the driver was indistinguishable from a true hardware driver. So: Is it possible to write a userspace driver that is indistinguishable from a hardware driver? TIA Klaus Zimmermann P.S.: I am aware of the jackplug plugin. However even with very conservative buffer settings I get underruns and x-runs quickly leading to a failing jack :( _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
