I somehow find this a bit funny. OSS has been dealing
with these
things at driver level and hiding the complexity pretty well. And it
also works for pro cards like my Delta1010. First it was argued that
there wasn't enough control and ALSA was better. Now ALSA has taken
this to the other extreme and now we are arguing if it's too
complex.
No, that's not what we are arguing, at least how I understood it. The
topic was not complexity but accessibility. If it is impossible to
find explanations, stuff is hard to do. A well-documented crummy
interface can be easier to work with than an under-documented
well-designed one.
