Actually it works already but the SDL version I have uses oss and it seems to hickup sometimes although the cpu power consumption seems fine. Other programs (vlc/audacity) seems no to reflect this problem so I guess it's due to the fact they use ALSA while the SDL I got doesn't. When configuring SDL, it seems not to include ALSA (by not finding alsa/soundlib.h) and I'd like to add it but I'm a little confused on the step to follow. ALSA seems to be installed but I guess I miss the includes and compiling libs. Does it mean I need to configure/compile alsa-lib ? Do I risk corrupting my system if the installed libraries are not compatible ? Sorry for the rambling, but I'm only a beginner in terms of developping audio apps under linux. Regards, Marc.
