I'm curious about plans for supporting these new developments in sound
hardware. I'm currently working with a prominent game company considering
porting to Linux. They are beginning to use new hardware developments like
3D audio, and had questions about support on Linux.
I looked through alsa-devel archives, but did not find anything about
this. Has anyone considered how to extend the API to handle such things?
