Or do you plan to build gobjects on top of alsa-lib, too? Mmm. I guess that there's miscommunication about the design of alsa-gi project at first place. I remember you were not at the same room in the audio mini conf. The original alsa-gi is independent of alsa-lib[1]. This has been immutable since I mentioned about the project in the audio miniconf[2], thus alsa-gobject is just on <sound/asound.h> and <sound/asequencer.h> as well. The project is thin layer between produced API and character devices for applications to execute I/O as easy as possible. This point is important to write tests and to implement some ctl/sequencer drivers in userland. For the design, at present, I have no plan to be on alsa-lib. Especially, the combination of configuration space and domain specific language is not surely supported. The below features of alsa-lib are not supported by alsa-gobject: * text files for configuration space * parser of domain specific language * plug-in mechanism for all interfaces * hctrl interface * mixer interface and sctl plug-in mechanism * plug-in SDK for pcm/ctl interfaces I think it possible to implement the equivalents by high-level programming languages as well as the below features: * Parser/builder for Type-Length-Value array for ctl interface * Converter between MIDI messages and ALSA sequencer events * topology interface * ucm interface But at present my concern is I/O between user/kernel space, thus I have no plan to work for the above items now, except for TLV parser/builder.
