Based on the frequency of stable kernel updates lately it would certainly be quite a lot of extra work for Pat to build (let alone test) each stable kernel update. I manage to do that myself but it does seem endless at times...

How about adding, alsa-plugins
and a line in the "CHANGES_AND_hints" or "Slackware-HOWTO" on creating a .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf and adding this line, defaults.pcm.rate_converter "speexrate" (or "speexrate_medium" or "speexrate_best")? |
Ah! This is the thread I was looking for. I'd like to see both Python 2.x and 3.x included.

kiss - keep it simple and stable as is.....
i think slackware 14.1 is way more stable than other distros out there which break more often...and true to X windows.... a dependency manager could be one option... |

Just a thought for a feature, but what about an ncurses script to help setup an asoundrc per user with ALSA with at least dmix and some other preincluded options for sample rates, etc?

As for the sample rate stuff, I find it really unlikely that it would make any real-world difference. Quote:
That said, Slackware used to include swaret (in /extra), and slapt-get is a standard part of most forks. |
sbotools has a crude dependency resolver, but often it still boils down to you doing some grunt work.

i don't see hardware resampling noted there maybe it's in the driver still, only one chip, that i know of, does resampling (ICE, aka VIA envy) |
Any of the onboard chips usually are still Software Mixing only. I only know of a few onboard devices that actually do(did) hardware mixing and usually those chips are the same ones found on actual sound cards such as the Sound Blaster Emu*-series, C-Media OxygenHD, some older AC97 stuff like the Aureal 8810. Just about everything that is a CODEC style chip HDA or AC97 is software mixing only.
