Help Wanted?

[Cathal Mullaney]

Hullo All,
   I am a recent CS graduate and have been developing C++ applications using
alsa for a number of years now and would like, if possible, to give something
back as it were. As I have been developing apps. with alsa over a variety
of hardware architectures I have noticed a few bugs and unattractive features
which I would be willing to attempt to address. This list seems a sortof
I have a problem with "X" please help me, are there active projects within
ALSA that require developers or should I identify a problem and focus my
attention on it? I have no experience writing device drivers for Linux but
I have read various faqs concerning kernel module programming etc and am
willing to learn any necessary skills. I have a reasonable amount of free
time to devote to such a worthy cause and am always willing to learn new
skills. All I would ask in return is to be credited for anything I contribute.
Anyone willing to put me to work please reply to my email address or to the
list.

Yours Sincerely,
Cathal

Many, many people would be happy if you could fix the "Skype does not
work with aoss" bug.  It's tricky as the source code of Skype is not
available, but some people report that they can reproduce the issue with
some open source VOIP apps like kiax and wengophone.

The bug seems to be hardware or system dependent - for some people it
just works.
