yes, that sounds like a layout problem. i will try to get my hands on a SBLive, and also use some virtual midi ports. as you might have noticed, this release is still rather beta: lot's of printf to be removed ;-) maarten

An "advantage" of OSS (not the free one) is that ther is e.g. e driver for solaris. For ALSA there is IMHO none. BTW does anyone know how difficult (work-intensive) it would be to port the ALSA API (user-space lib) using the solaris /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl ? Stefan -- \|/ <@ @>

I just finished porting ecasound to Compaq's iPAQ 3600, running the Familiar v0.5.1 Linux distribution. This is probably the first multitrack recording suite running on a PDA. :) Porting work was actually quite easy. Just get the arm-linux cross-compilation environment (gcc+glibc), fetch ecasound

As a programmer, alsa is just much easier to use. alsa provides a consistent api interface for all sound cards thanks to the alsa-lib. (shared user space code) So, if I write an app for my sound card, I can be pretty sure the app will work on all other sound cards. With OSS/Free, hardly any of th

"aconnectgui is a FLTK based frontend for aconnect. It is written directly on top of the aconnect source, leaving the original source intact, only adding a couple of ifdefs, and some calls to the gui part, so it provides exactly the same functionality, but with a graphical userinterface." http://
