I think you're perfectly correct. It sounds like ALSA is doing _exactly_ like what the kernel developers used to complain about the glibc developers doing - compiling against the kernel headers. As you suggest, it's _wrong_! There needs to be a clear split - kernel space code and user space code. Consider them maintained in separate universes. Only at runtime do they _need_ to co-exist. If the kernel developers change an interface, they need to tell the user-space (library) developers what the change is. The two developer teams could have entirely different requirements for organising header files, too... (Well, it beats "me too" but, having reread the above, I'd like to add that I think I've gone a little overboard :-).) -- Peter ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
