I'd rather see pulseaudio go fully cross platform. It's got some older windows ports but if pulse were to get a push in the right direction for windows and OSX then this lets alsa get on with the job of interfacing with the audio on linux (that's what the L stands for after all), and let higher level applications work with a more appropriate system with more appropriate interfaces for practical use. Just a thought... Col _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
