Hello,
just out of curiosity: Is someone working in MIDI support for Creative
EMU10K1 based sound cards (aka Soundblaster Live!) ?

Having a port of ALSA would sure round out 5.2 nicely, and would get you
MIDI support: http://www.alsa-project.org/
I think you wouldn't really do anyone a favour, including the ALSA
folks, if you went and made a port right now. The ALSA project is
still not at 1.00 status and still quite in-flux.
One could go either way with this. Leave it for after 1.0, or grab it
now and help build it up for a better 2.0. Or I guess we could initiate
the ABSDSA and have support for both ALSA and OSS. Wouldn't this be
even more work though?
This can easily happen if we get behind a developer. ALSA has been
sponsored by SuSE for the benefit of Linux, and there's no reason we
can't pull together our resources to do the same for our OS. I'm sure
someone will step forward to do the port if we have the cash for them to
comfortably sit in front of their computer until the port is complete.
I'd appreciate sponsoring somebody to work on our existing newpcm
stuff and add the missing bits and pieces much more. Donating hardware
(soundcards and MIDI-devices) would probably help very much already.
OSS is on the outs. New applications that are ALSA only will soon be
common, won't they?
Alsa is condemned to driver + some silly user space daemon with naive
signal filter anyway. So no problem here.
