Yeah, I've dabbled with ALSA in the past -- mainly because I had a machine at work with non-standard audio hardware that was only supported by ALSA. Don't tell my boss, but I spent half a day figuring out ALSA, patching and rebuilding my kernel, building the utilities, and rebooting just so I could listen to music on that machine. Ahh, those were the days... However, I want to make sure that the Python linuxaudiodev works out-of-the-box for 90% of Linux users, which I guess means it has to stick to the OSS API. (For now.) > with respect to audio, i don't think there are defined semantics. *sigh* I was afraid that's what the answer would be. Oh well.
