Thanks for the feedback. We want to support both OSS and ALSA. We
implemented OSS first because it ships free with RedHat, and because ALSA
supports the OSS API as a subset of its own API. So the current PortAudio
should work with ALSA. Please let us know if that is not the case.
We would also very much like to support ALSA API directly because the OSS
subset API may not be correctly supported, and there are API extensions in
ALSA that would make the PortAudio implementation cleaner.
I know it is frustrating for users when free open-source projects are
"useless" because they aren't available for the users platform. So if you
know any programmers who are able to develop an ALSA implementation of
PortAudio, please let us know. We are always looking for volunteers.
Thanks again,
Phil Burk
