What for would I use ALSA in a mixing console? In a mixing console I control the user interface and a bunch of external DSP units. Besides, audio interfaces become less important in pro audio with upcoming transport over ethernet. > ALSA had been designed for conventional sound-cards (largely) also there > drivers for RME, DigiGram and other pro-interfaces, > but the hardware is still proprietary and it isn't quite flexible. What do you want to say with the latter?
