and worked terribly in OSS. So then I used ALSA.
In general, the whole issue around APIs is widely underestimated by the
Linux development community. New APIs for existing services are invented
at will, whole C libraries are changed for mostly political reasons, etc.
This confuses the users who are accustomed to a platform where most
existing applications do not break when a hardware interface card is
replaced, or an upgrade of the system is installed.
A more stable and unified API would help the availability of (semi)
commercial applications, but apparently that is not a priority for
Linux developers. This sometimes is a shame.

This one has a bit of Dos and Windows stuff.

I've never been able to find 300bd stuff for sound cards.

Subject: Part 2: Innovation and Ham Radio
Further, why not even be known for caring first. Care about people.
Isn't that the reason for communication in the first place? Let's add
to our
ability to care for people, like when we connect them to their loved
ones in
an emergency. Let's be known for our scientific innovation AND how it
benefits all. Let's even be known for pointing out where big business
seeks
to control the airwaves and our pocket books. Why not make free wireless
communications available to the masses. Why not? Who say's we must pay
a toll? It's completely up to you.
Further I'll even say we need privacy and that includes encryption. Now
I
realize this is very controversial. I will tell you why. We need
innovation
in our thinking here. The standard government rant goes like this...we
can't
give encryption to the public, they say. Then some evil interest would
communicate about destroying us and we wouldn't be able to listen in.
Therefore (they say) our freedom is in jeopardy. They say it's a
national
security issue. So they control our privacy for the sake of security.
This
is in fact, our current situation if you didn't know it. We have no
communications privacy.
So what's the problem with that? After all, what do you have to hide,
right?
WRONG! Have you not heard about the epidemic of identity theft for one
example? Do you believe everyone and anyone has a right to know
anything and
everything about you? I think that's God's job. It is not the
governments.
We are allowing the government to trade our privacy for security. Well
isn't
privacy a freedom we have fought and our forefathers have died for all
these years.
Isn't that like giving up the war to all comers, anyway? I believe it
was
Ben Franklin who said "If you give up your privacy for security, you
will
have NEITHER!". The problem is the men in government seek to *CONTROL*
those not in government unfairly. Why is it OK for our government to
have privacy
and not it's people? If you see the government as your savior, I
suggest what you don't know *can* hurt you. This has never been as
important as it is today. Many
are now realizing all too late, their privacy matters. Don't be too
late, it
matters.
So if you're one of the few who truly promote innovation and you are
kind
enough to do it with Amateur Radio, please don't give up. Focus on real
communication benefits for people. Embrace change and do something
about it.

Subject: Software Tools for implementing Soundcard-based digital modes
I have discovered AE4JY's PSKCORE.DLL that allows you to implement PSK31
support in your own 32-bit Windows program. I will be developing some custom
radio control software for my new TenTec Pegasus transceiver and plan on
using PSKCORE.DLL to provide support for PSK31. I am looking for similar
tools for other modes using the soundcard, such as RTTY, AMTOR, CW
(receive), SSTV or any other modes (THROB, Piccolo ?). The software I am
writing will be in Borland Delphi and run on Windows 95/98/NT. I should be
able to work with a DLL written in other languages as well.
