2b) We'll rewrite these devices to be something within ALSA, but not exactly mixer controls.
For options 2a) and 2b) I guess the existing /dev/input thing should be deprecated and/or removed. So part of decision should maybe be based on information about how widespread the usage of these devices are currently...?
So, this discussion seems to have ground to a halt.
Yes, unfortunately, and without a clear consensus. That puts me in a difficult position, because I'm trying to get the job done. And very preferrable, in the next release of Ubuntu (which is to be released on October this year). I've been talking to a few of my colleagues here at Canonical, and here's how we reason currently:
We have the input layer. We also have a set of patches for supporting this in PulseAudio (although currently unmerged and I'm not sure about their current quality/state).
I know that these are working on Panda and that Graeme is addressing review comments for upstream. Don't know his ETA yet though.
