UNIAUD32 ReSync 1.0.1

http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud/


WARNING

These 1.2.0 beta ("ReSync") prereleases should be treated with the caution
due to any experimental/unstable software. They should not be used on a
production system without proper system backups. Always keep a bootable CD
handy for reverting to a more stable release of Uniaud32.sys in case this
one should trap.


ABOUT RESYNC

The ReSync effort of Uniaud32 is a development path being done in parallel
with the other stabilization and development of Uniaud. The purpose is to 
update all old ALSA code to the latest version. The challenge is that code
from many different ALSA versions is found in Uniaud32, so it is being merged
one version at a time. It began with version 0.9.0beta6.

As all other ReSync builds, this contains the latest fixes from the "stable"
development branch of Uniaud32, with the ALSA code merged to the version
above. Do not let the version numbers deceive you. Apart from this aggressive
updating of ALSA, these "1.2.0" betas are not any more advanced than the
latest 1.1.x builds, so it is perfectly conceivable for a 1.1.x build to be
newer and better than a 1.2.0 beta build. After the ReSync is finished, the
1.1.x code will be dropped, Uniaud 1.2.0 will be released, and all further
development will be based on the resync'ed code.

REPORTING PROBLEMS

The purpose of publicly releasing these builds is to get more attention and
testing of the ReSync effort, and is not expected at this point to provide
any benefit over the 1.1.x releases. Generally, we are only interested in
reports of the ReSync series working differently from the 1.1.x series. If
there is a problem which exists in both versions, follow the normal procedure
of opening a ticket on Trac as if only the 1.1.x build had been tested. It is
not necessary to discuss the ReSync builds in such a case.

If, on the other hand, a ReSync build has a problem not present in the 1.1.x
series, we definitely want to know about it. While you could create a ticket
in Trac, my advice at this point would be to bring it up on the uniaud-user
or uniaud-dev list to discuss it first.

Of course, news of things working is always good too. :)


HOW TO USE

You must have a recent version of Uniaud installed already. Simply backup
your existing uniaud32.sys, found in C:\MMOS2, copy this one in its place,
and reboot.
