the problem is: i install one app, install another
app,
both are outputting sound, and it won't work.
You mean: in the best case, only one of them is putting out
sound :) .
you can port open source apps to audio, and blame
commercial companies to write apps for alsa
(Id did, the new doom III release has alsa support)
To be honest, they shouldn't support ALSA, they should better
support the non existing common unix audio layer.
but u still need to struggle around with alsa
config, etc.
Yep. And normal users are not able to do so.
the problem is that it doesn't work out of the
box
like on WinD0w$. well - don't get me wrong, i actually
like the fact that linux is highly configurable, and
i personally have no problem to write my .asoundrc,
but if linux should have success on the desktop, thats
definitely a must-have.
Yeah, that's my idea. I for mysels can deal with the current
status, but I have the common user in mind.
And in fact, if we had a common audio layer, this doesn't
steal you the possibility to tweak every system aspect
manually.
Best regards
