Re: provision of "driver" type facilities from user-space

quoted

I want to put a layer in between user-space and a driver (dmasound).

The reason is - that I want to provide facilities (transparently) to
applications and these facilities cannot be (sensibly) placed in the driver
[e.g. rate conversion and so on].

Isn't this what esd and arts do?

yes... in a way.

I was hoping to avoid running a separate daemon...

but, well, maybe that's the only way to achieve it.

I thought the question worth asking.

a sort of attempt to Keep It Simple...

...and then there's the "favourite" way of doing things issue...

ah well.

Iain.
