How hard can it be to explain that. Between JACK and Pulse Audio they barely had to do any work at all. But instead they ended up reinventing the wheel with audioflinger. That's the problem with having Project Managers who have no idea about the technology they are working on. Google really dropped the ball on this one. It's up there with the "Buzz" launch disaster and recording unsecured wifi data in the "street view" car. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
