I do so for some years now. speaking to the mainline-Linux-people in Germany at LinuxTag, Chemnitzer Linuxtage, Brandenburger Linux Info Tag and so on. I find a mild interest but not so much in-deep understanding and many misconceptions. Such as: The main problem in Linux Audio is, that you cannot hear your MP3-player anymore if you try to play a game. Audio software is not the same as demanding in terms of performance as data-bases are. Most audio software is buggy for it can freeze the system. No good software will ever freeze or crash. Jack is yet another sound-server like artsd or esd, it is only more complicated to set up and operate for the user. It should work transparently. .... I gave a talk on the Linux audio system at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage this year in wich I proposed: Make your software run with jack if you plan to make a productive audio tool. Make it run with ALSA also and if its just for the desktop, make it run with Pulse Audio. If this seems too hard a task, try phonon or xine but ignore all others. We need to get rid of all the obsolete legacy stuff out there. In the discussion after the talk came questions like this one: "OSS is free now and it might be cool - why not code audio-stuff for OSS4?" The audience ratings for the talk where mostly positive, the only criticism was: "I found it too controversal/apodictic". > \r > > 1) http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010/ > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEUEARECAAYFAkvkbd0ACgkQ1Aecwva1SWODbACYjYXzgCSsnLvGshQTTucjTa9V 9ACeL8Yn9fYVxTuHTotFe/pUsOnChD0= =E2HM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
