Hey fellas
Do you developers think it would be too hard to hack in support for alsa? From what I understand dom2 is developed using SDL (good choice =) -- adding alsa support should be easy enough. In fact, I'm surprised its not included by default really. Just about everyone uses alsa these days, I'm pretty sure all the non-debian distros install alsa drivers by default now. The kernel itself lists OSS as depreciated now... and a lot of soundcards in linux require the use of alsa's dmixer to play sounds from more then one application at once.
Maybe support in a patch? ... mabye for Dom3?
What do you think?
