Cameron will still respond to questions, and I believe he's not totally unwilling to do any work at all, but I think he's adopted more of a back-seat position these days. Which is not to undervalue his great contributions in the past, of course. :-) > let me know if you know :-) > If you want the job, speak up :-) > The there is MIDI... Mat Kanner is supposed to be our MIDI maintainer/developer, but unfortunately, he seems to come and go with uncomfortable frequency. The status of his new MIDI code is still up in the air, even months after his original announcement. I've tried using the last patch set he made available here (from August 2004), but it doesn't apply cleanly under CURRENT, and I've been unable so far to obtain an update from Mat. > Kazuhito HONDA (kazuhito@ph.noda.tus.ac.jp) > has been doing some work on the USB audio code > and has agreed to act as contact/maintainer for that as > it seems to be currently unloved. I would be interested in helping out with the sound subsystem, as it is definitely one of the parts of the system I hold most near and dear (being an amateur musician and hardcore music buff), if someone were willing to mentor me for a while, until I felt secure enough to work on my own. Just let me know if/when/how we might get started. And thanks for bringing this issue to light. It's long overdue. -- Conrad J. Sabatier -- "In Unix veritas"
