Since I'm not very alsa litterate, on a "typical" system, what kind of |
| 22 |
plugins - other than dmix and dsnoop - are used by "typical" |
| 23 |
applications (totem, mplayer, amarok, ...)? If a user decides to remove |
| 24 |
some plugins, do "typical" applications handle this cleanly or do they |
| 25 |
crash and burn? |
| 26 |
|

Other than that, sounds like a neat idea :) |
