Hi Erik, > > I need a simple sound application which directly > > communicates with the alsa sound driver, *not* > using the alsa user lib API. > Bypassing the library defeats that point. I understand that. But I am actually implementing an user level sound driver, which is still in its rudimentary stages. I have a simple driver API and at this stage alsa user lib does not conform to that API. I should have been more clear in my first mail. I need a simple application to test my driver. Any further help would be appreciated. Thanx! kaushik ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
