If the sbase plugin is essentially a mandatory accompaniment of libasound, I'll move it to the libasound package, and since I don't see much benefit in keeping the hda and ac97 plugins in a separate package either, I'll move those too and get rid of the whole smixer plugin package. Out of curiosity, in what situation are the hda and ac97 plugins used? You said that they are practically never used, but surely they have some purpose? -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
