Hallo,
Paul Davis hat gesagt: // Paul Davis wrote:
i doubt if people will write new OSS drivers, but they

linus accepts them into the tree is another matter.
as for alsa drivers being ported: that's extremely unlikely, though
again, if someone has some reason to do it, they can.
How I understand it - and I could need some clarification from the
real driver pros - one of the goals of ALSA was to modularize driver
architecture and get more tasks away from the kernel to user land or
expressed another way: abstract software design from hardware design.
This in turn should make it easier to write drivers for ALSA or maybe
easier to write drivers that provide more functionality?
Am I describing this somehow correctly?
ciao
