Hi all,

	only 4 people (include me) is subscribed to this list, not very
much, but we can start (I hope). I made some plan for ELSA project -
look to WWW site - http://ultra.jcu.cz - button Ultra API - for more
details. If you want do some work on this project, look to lines in plan
file and send me appropriate points. Please, look to new header files,
too. There is some changes in coding style (prefixes).
	At first is needed create some basic version of ELSA C library
which covers control, mixer & pcm interfaces. Other interfaces can't be
supported yet (they aren't done).
	There is needed to start work on ELSA configuration manager, too.
Detection interface is done, so work may begin. I'm ready to answer
questions about all interfaces.
	Next important question: What soundcards you have? I know - if
your soundcard isn't supported, you can't work on ELSA library or
configuration manager etc... Andy have GUS PnP, others? I should work on
some SoundBlaster code (we have at work SB AWE 32 & SB AWE 64)... You
should know that this work delay some other work from my side - for
example create midi or synth interface.
