before badmouthing my efforts, please be aware that the sound system is a
lot of code for one person to maintain and develop. i have limited time and
energy, and i'm not in possession of every soundcard known to man. as such,
my priorities are:
1) i have no time to support hardware that i do not have. if you want a
card supported, submit a working and tested driver, or send me a card and
wait.
2) supporting legacy hardware is lower priority than more recent hardware.
3) -current support will always be far better than -stable.
4) the old pcm api is deprecated since it doesn't buy us much, is barely
used and there is no documentation other than code.
to be quite honest, i've done very little but sound stuff for the last
decade, and attitudes like yours only contribute to my feelings of
dissatisfaction with it. i feel honour-boud to finish what i started, and
probably will, but you should remember that i'm not being paid for this, so
i don't feel that you are in a position to make statements like those. do
feel free to take the torch, i've been wanting to pass it on for a while
now.
