Re: [Gwc-general] problem getting gwc to use alsa

[Stewart E. <st...@lu...>]

My only comment is that I tried to use direct ALSA, ran into problems 
that made me think the ALSA support in gwc wasn't really usable, and 
went back to OSS (emulation, that is). I have not had time to 
investigate any further (and I understand ALSA very little, in any case...)
