I've submitted patches to fix everything but the OSS dependency. There's a related bug about not supporting alternative inputs (or something like that), but that can be easily fixed as part of migrating to ALSA. (Actually, I forgot to attach a patch to one of the bugs, I'll fix that ASAP) I started porting to ALSA, but the stuff depends very heavily on OSS, which wouldn't be such a problem, if replacing OSS completely would be an option. But if I want to maintain BSD compatibility, I need to keep the OSS parts too. So there are two options: - Drop OSS, and go full ALSA. This can be done in a reasonable timeframe, but I'll need a weekend or so to sit down and do it. I'm not sure when I will have a free weekend in the near future, but it's more than likely that I can do this before the end of december. - Refactor the sound stuff out, and move to ALSA on Linux, and keep OSS for the BSDs. This is considerably harder, and I'm not too thrilled about it. I don't use gramofile, so spending this much effort on a package I'm not going to touch after doesn't seem like a good investment. So I'd rather go with the first option, but that'll tie gramofile to Linux platforms. I don't think that'll be an issue, though. But in any case, it will take some time. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
