According to a friend of mine, who got the hardware, the ALSA still lacks feature provided by the OSS-driver. He mentioned some sort of programmable memory (forgot the name for that) with whom you can run small programs to manipulate the sounds (adding echo and such). Also, he got problems with getting more accurate control of the volume (guess this is more a userland issue). He seems to have done his homework but only got to pages where other peoples had the same problem. If this is really implemented, please let me know so I can forward it to him. Also, any good site on ALSA with detailed information on this stuff would be much appreciated! Thanks and good night Richard Knutsson
