I quite like ALSA as well, but you can't really use it, because its API
is changing all the time. I implemented ALSA Support in glame for
ALSA 0.5 and now with 0.9 everything is broken again... Anyway, I hope
it is stabilizing soon. BTW: Do you know if there's an easy way with alsa
to send 5.1 streams through SP/DIF. Last week I got myself a Hoontech card
with Yamaha 754 and Digital bracket. It would be cool to get it going with
a surround decoder. Is there anyone with experience in terms of
Linux/Surround.
Cheers, Alex
