[Openal-devel] Sound Blaster Live! on Linux.

[Manuel Jander]

Hi,

I want to know, if Creative Labs as a company, with all its policies and
that would agree with this:

Implement or help with the implementation of OpenAL hardware support for
Linux, using a framework where:

- An ALSA driver exports 3D features through the ALSA kcontrol API,
which accept generic data like coordinates, filter parameters and such
and program the hardware accordingly.
- OpenAL uses an extended ALSA backend which takes advantages of those
ALSA kcontrols described above to manipulate different 3D processing
pipelines.
- ALSA provides means to upload firmwares to the SB Live! DSP core,
which could be used if needed.

I guess, its quite impossible to get an "official" statement, since C.L.
bosses probably don't bother with mailing list, but i would like to here
some opinions of Creative Labs peoples at least.

Thank you very much

Manuel Jander
