Until the implementation of OSS4 is ready and tested, infinityOS will continue to use pure ALSA. > What are your test plans for forward compatibility (which is the > single largest pain for ALSA)? We will track Ubuntu and Debian development and make changes to our implementation to maintain compatibility. If this is determined to not be possible, we will stick with ALSA. > Leaving aside the nontrivial decision of selecting which PPAs to > maintain compatibility with, it's worth noting that you'll be facing a > moving target. Which Ubuntu releases do you intend to support in terms > of compatibility? Right now, infinityOS 1.0 Marvin is binary compatible with Karmic. We will be looking to move over to the Lucid codebase in two months with infinityOS 2.0 Zaphod. Maverick will likely be skipped because of the late release schedule with Zaphod and that Ubuntu will likely be moving to Gnome 3.0 with Maverick, a move that will likely comprise stability in upstream for the short-term. We are seriously considering only maintaining binary compatibility with every other Ubuntu release (including each LTS), but we'll see how things go.
