Great Will, I'm sure this information is valuable in many ways, at least to
take the pulse of the situation nowadays.

> OK final results. I've had to make the following adjustments to the

> One respondent entered 'both' in the 'other' category so I've subtracted

>
> Another respondent gave hardware names for both source and destination, so
> I
> think they rather missed the point, and I took them out of the totals.
>
> In order to then get a nice easy figure of 100, I asked a friend who hadn't

>
> There was a non respondent on the MIDI question so I've lumped them in

> 'other' crowd as a 'no MIDI'.

> So we have:

> Audio
> ALSA    6%
> JACK   74%
> Either 18%
> Other   2% (both referring to Alsa, Jack and Pulse)
>
>
> MIDI
> ALSA   23%
> JACK   26%
> Either 44%
> Other   7% ( 6 didn't use MIDI and the 7th mentioned a2j)
>
>
> From this I think we can conclude that direct use of ALSA is far from dead
