I forgot one more thing that could be fixed: simplify. The strong
point of Linux is that there are 1001 ways to do anything. And the
weakness of Linux is that there are 1901 ways to do anything. End
users like simplicity. They want power, it's true, but they don't
want to have a lot of choices. They want *one* choice and they want
that option to be "the right one." OSS should go away. Forever. The
compatibility code should stay but the actual OSS system should be
removed. I know that's not necessarily the decision of the ALSA team
but it should definitely happen at some point in the not too distant
future.
Also, configuration should be simplified by only having one way to do
things. Not sure exactly what that would mean, but limiting the
choices of the user is pretty important.
