We'd all be happy if ALSA was already a finalized API and finalized implementation, established, proven, "mainstream", etc. But it's not! So if you want it or not, at the moment ALSA 0.9 is NOT meant for mainstream, because it IS still in development! > The excuse that 0.9 is not a "release" is wearing thin these days. > Since 0.5, which *is* a release, is "no longer supported", what are > ordinary users expected to run? OSS? You claim any responsibility of the ALSA developers for linux users. They have not! This is open source. And I don't see what's wrong with using 0.5 until 0.9 is released.
