Re: [cdi-devel] [PATCH] CDI.audio - without "#define TYNDUR"



Hi,

I like the looks of the interface, but the points Kevin have brought
up are, in my opinion, important points to consider.

Out of interest, why not use a read/write/ioctl style interface? Of
course, you probably wouldn't call it read, write, and ioctl, but it
seems to make a little more sense with respect to the concept of audio
where you're writing streams of audio to the device. An ioctl-style
function would probably set up the destination for said streams (along
with other things). I'm interested to hear the rationale here.

Cheers,
Matt
