Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 18:23:38 +1100 Sender: alsa-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <3DE472FA.1060300@tele-ip.com> References: <3DE2C348.5040805@tele-ip.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Errors-To: alsa-devel-admin@lists.sourceforge.net List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: To: alsa development List-Id: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org 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.
