tnx, interesting!
Do you know where to get OSS programming manual?
I am planning to get ALSA 1.0.4, for this I need kernel update, so just n=
ow I=20
am downloading 30 MB of kernel 2.3.26 on my cow-village-modem-access, las=
ts 4=20
hours, uargh...
If You changed your code for alsa-1.0.4, maybe it would be interesting fo=
r=20
many other people also, please send it also to alsa-devel mailing list!
This could be an alternative to rewriting my prog in ALSA Api.
Thank you a lot!
