I'm posting this in a number of places to try and get some idea of ALSA/JACK
usage, so I'd be grateful for responses.

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I've had to make the following adjustments to the figures.

One respondent entered 'both' in the 'other' category so I've subtracted them from that and added them in the 'either' group.

Another respondent gave hardware names for both source and destination, so I think they rather missed the point, and I took them out of the totals.

In order to then get a nice easy figure of 100, I asked a friend who hadn't taken part, and he came down firmly in the 'either' camp'.

There was a non respondent on the MIDI question so I've lumped them in with the 'other' crowd as a 'no MIDI.

So we have:

Audio
ALSA    6%
JACK   74%
Either 18%
Other   2% (both referring to Alsa, Jack and Pulse)


MIDI
ALSA   23%
JACK   26%
Either 44%
Other   7% ( 6 didn't use MIDI and the 7th mentioned a2j)


From this I think we can conclude that direct use of ALSA is far from dead yet, and for MIDI it's neck and neck with jack.

If I can remember, I might try this again in a years time.

Good to know.

I'm somewhat surprised that anyone still uses pulse audio, but for the "old-school terminal window" crew it obviously has some appeal...  Grin
