That's why we should put some effort to change this.

Of course! This is because Alsa is not a part of the kernel. Once it

I think you're lacking a bit in historical perspective. For quite a
long time, *most* of the actually useable apps we had came from other
unices. When I first came here (1997?), the best soundfile editors I
could find were DAP, MiXViews, and Snd. IIRC, *all* of those were
developed on SGI
BTW, some LAD-folk may not be aware that sfront networking:

Every pro DAT I've ever used has had the option to run at 44100, an
option I always to take advantage of to avoid resampling or multiple
Hi,
Of course! This is because Alsa is not a part of the kernel. Once it
becomes a part of kernel, it will be the same like OSS in this respect.
Pff, nothing would change, if alsa is in the kernel? I don't see why
this should suddenly make things easier? I don't see the necessity
to put in
This might be of interest on linux-audio-dev too...

That's not nice...
My tuppence worth from a real-time embedded perspective:
A shorter time slice and other real-time improvements to the scheduler will
certainly improve life to the embedded crowd. Bear in mind that 90% of
processors are used for embedded apps. Shorter time slices etc. means
smaller buffers, less

Ehh.. First off, the CPU may be 1GHz, but the memory subsystem, and the
PCI subsystem definitely are _not_. Most PCI cards still run at a

Thanks.
read the source and see what alsa is made of. they didn't make new

I know how it's made, I've read some sources just to be able to get
something done with alsa-lib.
it must have escaped my attention that they forced

Aww, what should I use then? People are saying that nobody should use 0.5 as

I have to completely disagree with your statement here. I

Btw. how much testing has ALSA got under Linux/PPC?
works for me for all the basic stuff. i haven't tried to run one of
the heavier packages like MusE or ardour, but it should work out ok.
maybe it just needs a few more users to smoothen out.

so, i guess that 85 ms latency whenever /dev/dsp is opened does not matter
to you? it matters to me (i have the audiophile).

A Cautionary tale:
I bought a pair of IBM 40's for my ASUS A7A266 motherboard. Mandrake 8.1 would
run weirdly for about a week, then I would have to reinstall it. Windows 2000
Pro declared them corrupt right of the bat and wouldn't load at all. After
three months of changing every jumper setting
that's very shortsighted. also selfish (in contrast to sharing ideas
that
are behind linux).
I do not see it being that way since there is no way that I could, for
instance, write a good Alsa port for crapple architecture when I do not
even own one. I see nothing selfish or shortsighted
