If |-core decides to toast voxware I will probably pick up the maintainence |of voxware from right here were maintainence of voxware used to be. The |latter is not a bad idea since it will avoid conflicts between -core and I. Thanks for volunteering Amancio. Glad someone with driver-writing knowledge is going to pitch in. Along with Brandon, I too will volunteer to help you test and aid in keeping Voxware in shape, until such time as sufficient volunteering brings the new development driver up to Voxware's level of capability. Cameron Grant: |you should be aware that the voxware code will need extensive renovation and |conversion to newbus. already it will not cope with pnp devices, and the |compatibility shims it relies on will shortly be gone. | |in my opinion it would be far better to divert any effort you would be |willing to put in towards newpcm. That sounds fine in the abstract. But we should be concrete about the details before we go nixing code. - Have we identified exactly what functionality is missing in the new sound driver but supported by Voxware? - Have we got volunteers with time on their hands signed up to provide each piece of this functionality with estimated completion dates? IMO, the cut-over to PCM should be tied to the last of these completion dates, revised forward or backward as actual completion dates slip. Why would we transition any other way?
