The 0.5.x series is considered deprecated and is no longer supported by ALSA developers *** the last time they updated the alsa 0.5.x libraries was: 2000-12-07 The ALSA packages version 0.5.10 wer I would call this branch "OUTDATED" ..... the 0.9 interface has been around since 2001-02-21 thats more than a year advance and allowance to adopt to the new codebase. I'd say this was plenty of time for all project maintainers to get the know of the new libraries and support it. So, the code has been around. should we really have waited for another year using old, slightly broken and buggy codebase that was completely unsupported by the developers and where the drivers werent updated? I dont think that would be a good thing in the long run. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
