The low level card routines are separated and all the other layers share common routines. So I could think that OS dependant parts are isolated, too, and could get wrapped or substituted. There should be a website at www.alsa.org if someone wants to have a look at it. And maybe www.suse.cz has a link now that the main author and originator works there. And finally www.freshmeat.net holds copies. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
