[alsa-devel] SALSA-Lib version 0.0.1 release
Hi all,
I created a small replacement of ALSA-library, mainly for embedded systems with limited resources. The library is named as "SALSA-Lib" (too easy, eh?)
It has no plugin layer but only hw layer, thus no sexy features like dmix and format conversions are available. It supports no shiny and complex configuration files. And it supports no sequencer. The only goal of this library is the reduction of the size of library and running binaries by inlining functions with direct syscalls.
The library is designed to be source-level API compatible with the normal alsa-lib 1.0.14. Note that it is _not_ designed to be binary-compatible at all, and it will be never so.
The first released version 0.0.1 is available at:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/salsa-lib/salsa-lib-0.0.1.tar.bz2
The package is released under LGPL as well as the original alsa-lib.
I've tested it only on i386, and tests on other architectures would be greatly appreciated.
(And, no, I didn't make it on HG tree yet.)

No. Too cute perhaps, but I like it anyway...
Thank you for this. Other than embedded use it's also going to be useful as educational material for someone who wants to understands the basics of the kernel/user interface.

Just added it to OpenEmbedded so arm/ppc/mips etc guys can take a look.
It builds on arm BTW but I havent used it.

This has the possibility of being an absolutely marvelous thing.

I will try and put it to use after i get my current product issue resolved.
