I'm probably going to add these changes as a masked -r1 (even for following |
| 10 |
versions of alsa-lib for a while), as there are a couple of problems: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- alsa-lib depends internally on rawmidi to be enable it seems, till that's |
| 13 |
cleared (either upstream or if I get enough time to work on it), rawmidi |
| 14 |
cannot be disabled; |
| 15 |
- at least one package (k3b) checked for the presence of one of the seq |
| 16 |
functions to enable ALSA, which then failed with midi disabled; I've fixed |
| 17 |
this upstream (thanks to Sebastian Trüg who's always responsive), and I'll |
| 18 |
apply it to 1.0_rc2 ebuild when I commit the modified alsa-lib, but more |
| 19 |
programs can have similar errors, so it needs a throughout testing before |
| 20 |
going live. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'll also see to add some warnings if the user tries to disable the plugins |
| 23 |
that are most commonly needed (like ioplug, dmix or iec958). |
