Personally, I would argue about ESD being fine. Though it is moot really, since ESD is dead. And of course SDL and Phonon (and OpenAL and libao, etc) are in a very different space from PA/Jack, being sound libraries rather than sound servers. ALSA is different again, being the fundamental interface to the sound hardware (sharing that space with OSS). http://www.clowersnet.net/~krc/computers/realistic_linux_audio_v2.png (needs some updating and improving, e.g. libsydney never came to be) Which maybe you know all about, but I know plenty of people find a diagram like that useful. Heck, I did, that is why I made it. Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
