Craig,
I was thinking more about the audio in BlitzMax. Seems to me that maybe it should do a 'detect' for the audio system on the linux distro at hand. Granted OSS and ALSA are the primary sound support, but the others like aRts which we found out about for using inside of BlitzMax working on OSs like Linspire. What I am getting at is that we as developers will not want to create a package for each kind of sound system, or tell the user to change this or that in their system. Just have the BlitzMax app do it, and if the systems supported all fail, then tell the user.
Anyways, GREAT job working with OSS, ALSA, and aRts!
