[nas] [Announce] libaudiooss 0.9.14

[Erik Inge Bolsø]

Greetings.

Well, libaudiooss seems to be stabilizing. First update in nine months at
least point either in that direction, or in the direction that I've been
lazy on this front for a while ;)

All comments, questions, success stories, beer, hate mail, etc. welcome.

For those unfamiliar with the project:
Libaudiooss is a transparent OSS sound driver emulation on top of NAS.
Mainly for Linux, though success and failure stories from other OS'es are
welcome.

New in this release, 0.9.14:
 * Integrated Tobias Diedrich's rewrite of nasaudio.c. He seems to
   actually understand NAS a bit, which can not be said of me. Thus now
   mplayer works, and the rewrite also removed quite a few ugly warts -
   like the infamous AUDIOOSS_WINE_HACK env variable.
 * Stole a trick from alsa-oss by Abramo Bagnara - so now
     cat argh.wav >/dev/{dsp,audio} works.
 * In general, should work a lot better than the previous version.

Upgrade recommended.
