Hi all,

<rant>
I am sorry but the alsa documentation is poor. I
always resort to looking at other peoples applications
to see what they have done. A case in point is the
alsa sequencer. It does have a nice page which
explains just enough to get you going but the api is
much larger than this and some of the function
documentation is banal to say the least.

The audio stuff is even worse!
There is some conceptual documentation which seems
very old and I am not sure whether it is up to date.
</rant>

<caveat>
For an open source project that is not used
commercially the documentation is amongst the best
that I have seen and we all know how difficult it is
to find time to spend on this stuff. I have been
trying for years but between work, study and actually
trying to make some music I have ended up making no
contribution (so who am I to talk!).
</caveat>

sorry but that's my opinion,

Kev
