I'm using the alsa-source package from Debian unstable, as well as the alsa
stuff in the 2.6.10 kernel. Which means that it's probably quite a bit behind
the CVS. Still, it does work now.

This certainly goes on the list of things to fix for multimedia.
Ned: you have a bit more experience with the lower-guts in Squeak on
*nix? Do you want to file a bug on mantis?

But, out of the box, using the built in recorder app, squeak behaves
improperly -- it hangs. I don't think it should ever hang.This behavior
is consistent with reports here on the dev-list. Even though that is
not a lot of
people, no one has said it works for them. <br>
It would be nice for others to report behavior.<br>

As far as I can tell, Squeak is playing by the rules of the OSS sound system.
But the ALSA OSS emulation has not always been friendly to me.
I have found that when I can get *other* recording apps on my system to work,
then Squeak does too (at least if I use aoss).

Not for me, unless I use aoss -- I contend that anyone using squeak
should not have to use aoss so that fundamental audio recording works
(it's ok for debugging.). All my other apps work fine, btw.<br>

Someone should write an ALSA sound plugin, probably. For low latency, probably
something like Jack would make more sense, but it's not standard with any
distribution that I've seen.</pre>
