ok, with blindly insulting people like an aggresive dog you know that
you allready lost this case. you just want to show it publicly.
no, this is not the style i'm used to discuss things. please do it with
your yankee boys, if it happens that you sometimes really speak to real
persons not just to your pentiumII.

and who the hell do you believe gives *you* the power to tell others to
leave the mplayer project. are you grown to something like a
minidictator of the mplayer-project?

c'mon, at last ressort you became nitpicking.
no i don't take part in this game. just tell me how in the devils name
you want to use your beloved OSS-"API" without drivers? Ah, i remember
there is something called OSS-emulation provided by ALSA. your
argumentation becomes utterly crazy.

and so much said to this API/device driver game. you use it like it fits
your argumentation. you use (abuse) pseudo technical arguments to feed
your ideological and political point of view. you just showed your true
face when someone recognized your crude argumentation. you simply don't
like alsa. you have no real explanation why. you just somehow feel , it
is evil. maybe it smells not usual like oss. that said in the beginnig
would have saved us many electrons.
