[linux-audio-user] some thoughts about Linux audio software documentation

[Dave Phillips]

Hi Randy:

  I recommend drifting over to the LDP site at http://www.linuxdoc.org 
and checking out the Sound HOWTO. It's a basic document, probably 
distributed as a matter of course with every mainstream Linux distro. If 
it's too big a chore, just select a part you know you can handle. Then 
start in by correcting obvious errors and updating references. If new 
stuff should be added, add it whenever, but try to maintain a logical flow.

  You might also consider some of the mini-HOWTOs that deal with sound. 
Look at the whole list at LDP's site.

Best regards,

dp
