People who start to write an audio application have a 
difficult decicion to do: Which soundsystem to use?

Because all this mess about audio leads in the following:

* An author of 'professional grade' audio applications will 
make his application an JACK and perhaps additionally an ALSA 
application

* A KDE programmer will make his application an artsd 
application

* A Gnome programmer will make his application an esound 
application

* Others will make their application an ALSA application

* People who want their application to run on other unixes too 
will make their application an OSS application (see the 
commercials like real or Skype)


There is the example JACK capture client which is a good 
starting point for programming newbies.


What would really be useful would be some example code in the 
ALSA wiki showing how to create an application which is 
jackified but even can play and record via an ALSA DMIX 
device and optionally has further input/output plugins for 
esound, artsd and gstreamer. And which can automatically 
detect the audio subsystem to use *sigh* ;-) .



 Best regards
