"as much as possible" sounds like the softvol case would be a reasonable exception, on the other hand, if the goal is to completely avoid using the softfloat library I can see the point. Is the reason to avoid dependency issues, or to minimize the total resulting code size, especially on systems with limited memory? /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30 _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
