	Dear Alsa developers and friends.

	I was invited to talk in the first Linux event in Rio (Brazil) and
I focused my speech on desktops and multimedia apps for linux, I plan on
demoing csound, rosegarden, Jazz++ (the demo version, at least) some mp3
players module players etc etc etc. Besides demoing these aplications I
plan on talking about what you currently have in the linux Kernel right
now, and what Alsa will provide in the future and what it provides now.
	Since I am not familiar with alsa internals yet, would you mind
pointing out some topics you'd like to expose to people in order to
advertise alsa? I will be talking to about 100 people at the event next
sunday (01/31/99). A comparison chart between oss and alsa would be
wonderful, if one exists would you mind sending me a link?

	Thank you very much,
