I'm sorry. The new model (interface) is much different from previous. We
have got now separated input and output mixer directions. The leaving of
previous interface would take us some time.

I know that the application programmers want stable API and the binary
compatibility, but we are still in the development phase. I think that the
compatibility will be guaranteed from 1.0 version of ALSA.

I hope that this sort of major changes in the API will be minimized.
