Re: [Linux-wildo-devel] bootstrap.sh issue

Good, if you can have a look it would be nice, spec for new audio API
will be out soon when me and gros can talk.

We have moved to ALSA exactly cause of those OSS random errors... I am
one of the luckiest linux audio user I know, everything always worked
perfectly (must be cause of the live card.. that still rocks after 7-8
years :DD )

There was a typo already in the configure.ac ... probably there are
more indeed, if it's on line 203 maybe it's on other lines too (you
often copy and paste that code), anyway i have to add more
functionality as i said to the configure script, so leave it until it's
"new"
