I just want to add to this, this story is a rather inaccurate portrayal of OSSv4 / ALSA: http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2009/06/state-of-sound-in-linux-not-so-sorry.html *However* -- check comments for "dawhead." That's Paul Davis of JACK weighing in. Obviously, integration of all these things c

Yes, people should be filing bugs. Or they might be like me -- I had a two hour long conversation with a colleague, and *expected* that the conversation would be logged -- lo and behold, only the last 15 minutes or so of the conversation ended up being logged, and I lost a good deal of valuable co
