[Consortium] Fwd: RE: mLAN on Linux

Hello all, Looks like there has been some progress on mLAN support. I'm currently writing an article on FireWire audio for LinuxUser & Developer, and turned up this... Cheers!

Yes, we have done a lot of work on mLAN under Linux, and this has been in association with Yamaha's mLAN project group led by Jun-ichi Fujimori. Shaun wrote an mLAN ALSA driver, sponsored by Yamaha, and this is available at: http://mlanalsa.sourceforge.net/ We have also written an mLAN Enabler for Linux, and associated Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) plug-ins. If you need to become familiar with the Enabler/Transporter concept, I can send you an AES paper that Jun-ichi Fujimori and I wrote about this. This Linux Enabler/HAL plug-in work was also sponsored by Yamaha, and it is this that Jun-ichi Fujimori is talking about when he mentions that source code for the current connection management system might be made available in the next few months. Let me know if you have any further queries. Regards, Richard.
