I must admit, I
had to double-check that I really am reading the
year-2005 folder of linux-audio-dev, and not some old mails from the
archives. ;) Now that SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora and others have started
to use dmix as the default output plugin, basic desktop sound stuff
should finally start to work, as people expect, out of the box.
i mean, we should take this jwz thing as a call for jihad against
non-working audio, including the perception of non-working audio, and
such a jihad may be best served by those examples of no-problem
systems coming forward and being demo'ed.
I think we should take it for what it is: a whiney rant from someone
who is famous for whining about anything and everything.
Why should we care what jwz thinks? Let him publicly cry and run to OSX
- see if I care.
Addressing the concerns of people looking for help on this list is a
million times more important than some nonsense PR campaign to counter
the rant of a whiney dotcom washout that happened to get slashdotted.
