ALSA is in 2.5!!!

ALSA is in 2.5!!!

[Jaroslav Kysela]

Hi all,

	the big moment in ALSA existence is here. Linus integrated ALSA
into 2.5 kernel tree!! The first pre-patch with ALSA will be available
soon. For impatient hackers: Check http://openlogging.org, click on
'Sorted by number of lines' and choose 'Linux kernel tree' with domain
'transmeta.com' and contact 'Unknown'.
	I would like to send big thank you to all ALSA developers. I am
looking forward to the future.

In fact, in my tree it right now has replaced it. I'll make a pre-patch
and try to get the BK tree pushed out.

Three cheers. A just result of all the hard work you guys have put in to 
make the best audio system for Linux.

This is great news! 

Congratulations to the ALSA team and to all who've contributed to the
effort. This is of course just the beginning. Hopefully the merge will not
only increase the number of incoming bug reports, but also the number of
incoming new developers. :)

Congratulation to all the Alsa team. It looks like an historical moment. :-)

So, Alsa would be the default in Linux from 2.5.5. Wow !!!

RE: ALSA is in 2.5!!!

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Excellent news.
I am an opensource developer. My main project at the moment is xine,
http://xine.sf.net and dvdnav http://dvd.sf.net.
The main requirement from xine is to get audio and video in perfect sync
with each other. Alsa provides for that requirement very well.
I would like to say that alsa 0.9.x is a great improvement over alsa 0.5.x,
and the fact that it is now in the kernel sources just goes to prove it.
I found it much easier to write applications for alsa 0.9.x than alsa 0.5.x.
For my part, I have only helped alsa is very minor ways. (bug fixes for SB
Live)
Over the coming months, I will hopefully be adding some low level audio
drivers to alsa.

The first on my list is dxr3 audio. This is a hardware dvd decoder with
integrated analogue and spdif out.
Currently, it is supported with an oss driver, but I hope to port it at some
point to alsa 0.9.x.
Now that alsa 0.9.x is in the kernel, there is even more reason to port over
all the remaining oss drivers to alsa 0.9.x.
I am finding it very difficult to find sound cards which are only supported
by oss. ;-)

I particularly like the way that alsa has a kernel driver module, and a
separate alsa-lib.
This makes the kernel image small, while at the same time presenting a very
nice API to application developers.
I would like to see this happen with other parts of the kernel. E.g. ISDN
support.

Congratulations to all the alsa developers. :-)

Cheers
James

[Zlatko Savic]

That is GREAT news!!! As a newbie, I have been following the development
of the ALSA project for some time, hoping that some day all these dead
souncards across the globe on Linux machines of other newbies (and mine
too) will someday fire up with blarring sounds
and make another great reason for everyone to switch to Linux.

The ALSA project, along with the future kernels will make a huge step
towards Linux domination.

You guys are awesome!

Congratulations. 

It's been a long time coming. Developers, especially Jaroslav, Takashi, Abramo, Frank, Paul, your hard work, investment of energy and creative thinking is deeply appreciated. Through your effort I am able to proudly create musical art that is completely open and free (as in speech).

Make no mistake that your example has inspired and is continuing to inspire many people.

To quote Montel Jordan.

"This is how we do it"

Inclusion in the Kernel adds a huge amount of legitimacy to your work which hopefully in turn will give hardware vendors the reason they need to give you/us the chance to make their products supported in the Linux environment. Now we can say that professional quality multimedia is supported by the whole linux community not just the devoted few.

Once again CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thanks!  It's awesome to share this joy with you all.
Today is a holiday for me :)

Frankly speaking, I didn't expect that Linus acts so fast after his
last mail..  Anyway, now really excited.  I cannot stop putting
smiley to each line :)

RE: ALSA is in 2.5!!!

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Another nice feature of getting alsa into the kernel is that the code will
then be checked with the Stanford checker.

This is an intelligent checker which checks for bad pointers and generally
tries to catch bugs in code even before they show themselves.

It has generally improved the quality of linux kernel code, so now that
alsa-driver is in the linux kernel, it will be checked as well.

Cheers
James
