>has anyone contact with yamaha, btw? i've spoken in person with guys inside the mLAN development group (at NAMM, last februrary), and they put me in touch with a professor in south africa who has been acting as a consultant for them on a number of aspects of mLAN. i talked with him a few times too, he's quite a fan of linux.
my understanding of the end result of this conversation was that: * the core part of mLAN is already part of an IEEE standard * the part that Yamaha is retaining right now is the connection management stuff. they are not unwilling to release this, but they are also not particularly enthusiastic about it and nobody knows who has authority to do so. they have licensing schemes for this part, but eventually hope to see it merged into either the existing IEEE standard or a new one. note: without connection management, mLAN looks like the ALSA sequencer but without any way to know which ports exist. its not useless, but its very hard to use. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
