I think 2.4.x series are stable versions, but on the past we saw how new code was added to the linux stable tree if that code wasn't invasive. ALSA have many advantages and improved coded compared with OSS, and could add support for a few new devices. I think ALSA is an interesting thing now, when ALSA seems very stable. -- /================================================\ | Ramón Rey Vicente | | | | Jabber ID | | | | Public GPG Key http://pgp.escomposlinux.org | | | | GLiSa http://glisa.hispalinux.es | \================================================/
