[alsa-devel] My issues with the ALSA API

Heya!

A while back I compiled a list of issues I found with the ALSA API while I was hacking PulseAudio. I kept it up to date ever since. It has the title "Why I hate ALSA", but this is merely a catchy title, I am not trying to offend anyone, nor do I think that the ALSA API is particularly bad.

Back at FOMS in January this year, I showed this list to James. He acknowledged most of those issues. But I am sure that the other ALSA devs might be interested too:

Comments welcome!

Thank you,
