I don't agree. Good documentation is essential and I see the lack of it as a serious problem for ALSA. > Why waiting, help them, if you have time, if you want help the > world.

It's not that easy to write documentation without documentation. This would be best done by the people who wrote the API I think. It would take some time, but then again it is a matter of where the priorities are. I think documentation is very important, and in the long run would gain other developers' contribution and make life easier for the ALSA core developer team. > This mean, critisism is so easy, helping people is another > story. And yes, the message is better, less offending (as my point > of view, even if i'm not an Alsa devel (lucky are they ;-) ). The message did not seem offending to me. Your message on the other hand struck me as a little rude. --martijn _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
