Good. > It is even the only program who does ALSA native correctly for me. > Totem/xine does not (little ticks), Actually, that may be due to ALSA bugs which have been fixed in 1.0.3. According to ALSA developers, Xine is the media player having the best ALSA support. > XmmS not without tuning, mplayer-g4 not (terrible result), etc. Don't get me started on mplayer... ;) It works kinda OK via SDL though. > Funny that the OSS via Alsa is working ok, with sometimes some short > periods of loud static in between though. OSS has been around for much longer; many apps still aren't using the ALSA API 100% correctly. The ones I care about have been progressing nicely though, probably just a matter of time. Overall, ALSA is already working much better for me. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
