Following on from thread 'Problems with ALSA in embedded device', running code such as aplay with both ALSA and SALSA libs.
Is there a way to install both at the same time, so on a PC code can be compiled and experimented with first -lasound and then -lsalsa without alternately re-installing the libraries with make install?
Right now, no. SALSA-lib provides only the source-level API compatibility, not binary compatibility at all. The reason is that the binary-compatibility would expand the size of library greatly. As its name suggests, "small and spicy" is the advantage of SALSA :)
Of course, it'd be welcome if someone writes a patch to add the binary-compatibility feature, but it must be still optional.
BTW, I proposed SALSA in the last thread because a static library was in the question.
