I've discussed this with Herman Robak in Hacklab2 today: 1.
What is expected from group audio ? local users would always want audio access from /dev/dsp. However, you don't want to give realtime scheduling by default. 2. /dev/raw1394 is owned by disks group. Can be disk or video. Can udev change group on-the-fly ? /etc/udev/permissions.rules: KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="disk" 3. artsd / esd grabbing /dev/dsp is annoying ! Can we use artsd / esd over libjacksyn / jack plugin for ALSA ? If we can, it might be a good idea to document. It would be less destructive. 4. 1394 / DV / v4l / v4l2 needs consolidation! Multiple video source mixing is prohibitively expensive. encoding/decoding is bad, especially when it's lossy. regards, junichi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
