Am I asking the right people ?

[Bruce Paterson <bruce@tele-ip.com>]

Am I sending these queries about the operation of alsa through the API 
to the right place ?  I'm trying to use alsa for a real scientific
application and I'm starting to worry it simply isn't ready yet.

I don't pretend to be a developer of alsa drivers themselves, and I'd 
hoped I didn't need to become one.  I understand alsa needs many people 
debugging it and finding problems to make it bulletproof (afterall there 
would be a myriad of different possible configurations people can use).

However, the silence I get in reply to queries is golden (unlike the
distortion I'm getting from the soundcard) !

It's possible I'm not using the alsa API in the way intended and 
bringing the problems upon myself, but please, somebody tell me !

It would be a real blow to the progress of linux in this company if all 
the alsa work had to be scrapped.

Apologies for the frustrated tone.
