use new API ?

use new API ?

[Florian Bomers]

Sorry for re-posting, especially if the answer is already "in the queue".

I reformulate the question:

Is it more likely that 

- the already changed function prototypes, which are usable by defining
ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API, change in future, or
- that the deprecated functions will be removed ?

I am talking here e.g. of  snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size()

Are there any incompatibilities likely from 0.9.0rc5 to 0.9.0FCS ?

Thanks,
Florian

Hi,

if I released a program now in binary form, is it safer to use the new function
prototypes of alsa-lib by defining ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API or better use the
old, deprecated ones ?

My program compiles with or without, and I'd prefer to use the new API, but I
noticed that when I compile against rc5, it doesn't even run with rc4, so I fear
that my binary compiled against rc5 won't run with later versions of ALSA lib.

Thanks for letting me know.
Florian
