Thanks for taking the time to answer.

tinycompress comes with dual license LGPL and BSD. Currently the main user of this is Android which picks up the BSD license.

Though I am not a lawyer, but I don't see a reason if alsa-lib uses LGPL license to take this lib and include compress support in alsa-lib. This way we have code reuse and take advantage of alsa-lib to support compress formats too. Takashi is that fine with you?

I would hate if we had to rewrite the simple wrappers over IOCTLs to support compress in alsa-lib!

Thanks

Unless Takashi comes up with an objection, I'll work just on that.

Thanks, Qais
