Re: alsa-lib plugin devel

[Brad Midgley <bmidgley@xmission.com>]

Hi

None of the gui alsa-lib clients I've used allow for a freeform device 
name to be entered. Should we be telling linphone, xine, gnomemeeting, 
etc developers to allow a freeform device name? They currently just 
enumerate the (hw I guess) devices and make you choose from what they found.

Can I get around this problem by using esd or arts?
