reasons:
- rapid development
- class-like code structure
- more readable code
features:
- hcontrol binding is managed from python (opportunity to create
virtual mixer without driver or join multiple cards to behave as one)
Added --with-configdir and --with-plugindir options to configure
which specify the directories for config files and plugin objects
respectively. The default paths when these options are not
specified are unchanged.
Add --enable-* and --with-pcm-plugins configure options for partial builds.
User can choose the core components (pcm, mixer, rawmidi, hwdep, seq, instr)
via --enable-xxx or --disable-xxx option. As default, all components are
enabled.
The PCM plugins to build can be selected via --with-pcm-plugins option.
For example, to build only rate and linear plugin, pass
--with-pcm-plugins=rate,linear
Passing "all" will select all plugins (it's the default value).
The plug plugin will select linear and copy plugins automatically.
The other auto conversions of plug plugin are enabled only when the
corresponding plugin is selected.
