Re:GNOME is falling futher behind.

That sounds typical of the current "proprietary" linux philosophy.

Linux people are now going off the standard-path just like they accuse microsoft of doing - ok, so they may provide the source-code but for 99.999% of people, it's still proprietry linux-only stuff.

Seems like they now want the standard sound-api to be "ALSA" where the "L" stands for "linux"

And the new flash-player for 'linux' will use the alsa api.

There was a time that Linux was a decent Unix player........ Extras, and enhancements are fine, but now Linux thinks it's the only kid in the block worth considering.... It's MS with source-code.
