re all,
please have a look at this log entry on Greg's webpage:
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/free_drivers.html
i find Greg's approach very simple, incredible it wasn't there before!
:) is it what a linuxsound consortium would be up to, concerning audio
devices?
any thoughts?
ciao

I personally think that we cannot make that offer since I do not have either
manpower nor institutional backing to see this through. Before this could be
even remotely possible we need:
1) incorporation of the consortium, so that we can be considered a
registered entity
2) commitment from people capable of tackling such a task
P.S. How is that RSS for linuxaudio.org page progressing?
Best wishes,
Ico

There are probably a number of LAD programmers with the interest,
expertise and time to develop hardware drivers.
Perhaps the consortium could serve as a focal point to provide
collective credibility with the kernel developers and with the
hardware vendors. Start out with one or two test cases: match
up willing vendors with interested developers. Shepherd the
process through with the kernel developers. Etc.

If such volunteers will come forth to see this initiative through,
Linuxaudio.org will gladly offer support/resources.
Best wishes,
Ico
