Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] building portaudio and comedi

[Robert McGwier]

OSS and Alsa have real trouble with some of the higher end professional 
cards such a the M-Audio Delta series in dealing with the number of 
channels these high end cards can offer.  Portaudio handles the plughw 
case internally.  It is rapidly maturing and will provide a cross 
platform audio interface.  It is not finished but why should that be a 
bother for us in a system that is never finished (and hopefully will not 
be soon)? I use the portaudio interface exclusively.  If you are on 
Linux and you are using a standard 2 channel stereo sound card, such as 
the one on your motherboard,  I probably agree. Don't bother.
