Now that I think about it I could probably get away with doing this on
my computer everytime that a new driver is added. We have to add the
info manually for the soundcard matrix anyway.
Although If I don't have access to a working Linux computer in the
future this will cause problems. Ideally I would like a way to do this
all from online preferably automagically.
I'm loathe to admit but I am very new to perl so I don't even know how
to call the above code from a webpage. Is it possible to get the perl
script to parse the files and then use php to parse the output of the
perl script? I have various variables from a form which php can
understand and use to create the correct output in the template.
Unless Dan Hollis speaks up soon (I tried to contact him last Friday)
I'm officially commandeering the Soundcard matrix from his dir and
putting it in the alsa-docs dir. Where it will become the opening page
to the driver docs. He will need to get cvs access for the www dir from
Jaroslav to edit the new version of the matrix.
You can see what I'm trying to do here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ALSA_Soundcard_Matrix.php3
That is unless other people have a better idea for how to make the docs
more user friendly (and competitive ;] ).
