You are assuming that people still use alsa-0.5.x in applications.
For example, xine (xine.sf.net) dropped support for alsa-0.5.x ages ago,
it only supports alsa-0.9.x.
It also supports lots of other audio drivers, eg. oss, esd, arts etc.
Are there still applications out there that only support alsa-0.5.x and
not alsa-0.9.x.
alsa-0.9.x is so much easier to program an application for than
alsa-0.5.x ever was.
Cheers
James
