Many updates to specific card features, plus support for Linux kernel 2.6.x.
Also on the same page can be found the patch for alsa 1.0.5a
(I know, I'm lagging behind)

Hi,
One of the things that I came away from the meeting in Germany with was
a sense that the LASH protocol used for client<->server communication
needed to be better defined, both on the wire and in the api. What is
really necessary is a network protocol and api designed to allow
high-level ideas like sessions to be represented in a simple format.
The properties that I had been working on have become gobjects and what
was to be a new networking system is a seperate, gobject-based library
to provide a high-level networking api (eg, session_scan(),
session_join(), etc)
The TLA OSC has been banded about quite a bit, and this is not out of
the question; it would be in a set of usable lower-level protocols (or
perhaps the set :)

Hello,
An updated version (1.0.1) of libclalsadrv is now available on
<http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio>
Changes w.r.t. 1.0.0:
snd_pcm_prepare() is no longer called when the alsa device is
started, only when it is restarted after an xrun. This seems
to solve some problems with 2.6 kernels. Thanks to Matthias
Nagorni and Takashi Iwai for finding this out.

I don't think you should use the middle button for anyting.
With scroll-button mouses (which everyone should use), the
middle button is very unconfortable. What about
some creative use of the scroll-wheel instead? The obvious
use is of course to change the value with the scroll-wheele.
I think that would be nice.

I can't trigger that, but the flickering is annoying.
How about double-buffering the thing?
Another thing, in some situations, I think I would prefer
that the fan is always at maximum size. Could that be
made as an option in the API?
Besides from that, very very nice! I'm thinking about using
it in my configuration code for SND. But the flickering
needs to be fixed.

I'm pleased to annouce, after a solid month of heated debate with X11,
the initial public release of PHAT, the PHat Audio Toolkit. From the
website (www.gazuga.net/phat.php):
"PHAT is a collection of GTK+ widgets geared toward pro-audio
apps. The goal is to eliminate duplication of effort and provide some
standardization (well, at least for GTK+ apps). It's open source
software, licensed under the GNU GPL, version 2.0 or later."
The debut and flagship widget is the fanslider, designed by Thorsten
Wilm's. The LAU folks may not be too interested in the library as
such, but might like to play around with this widget (hence the cross
post). It comes with a demo program, "phatfantest," which displays
the sliders in all their glory.

Docs: www.gazuga.net/phat/index.html
Let's actually go somewhere with all this debate about widgets and
standards and such. Contributions are welcome (hint hint). I hope we
can put an end to the Linux Usability Curse, at least in our own
little neck of the woods.
