[xine-devel] audio driver autodetection

[Guenter B. <bar...@st...>]

Hi everyone,

sorry for being so quiet once again, I was busy setting up a FreeBSD
machine  ... that went well BTW, but I couldn't do much for that platform
... we definitively need thread support and FreeBSD doesn't have that (for
now) in their XFree 4.x port :-((

could we have some audio-driver auto-detection that does this
automagically? I mean, try alsa first, fall back to oss and finally try
the null plugin of all other possibilites fail?
(Siggi? Daniel?)


I think this order makes sense since it'll prevent people from accidently
using alsa's oss emulation.
