Back in the days, around 2019, I worked on my own ALSA API lib and I have made almost full support, then I had massive HDD failure and all work was lost as anything I considered a joke, including this work. Now I need this do it again and before I started coding, I remembered of this one...

But that is quite modest support what is there. Is there a plan to make it complete? Or that is just what it is?

 Anyway, I will have to do my own again from ground...

Hello.

But that is quite modest support what is there. Is there a plan to make it complete? Or that is just what it is?[

What do you mean by "Is there a plan to make it complete?"

What is missing?

For instance, whole low level hardware APIs, as snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format and related. All I see here are just 6 basic APIs...

My reference was this, there is several dozen, if not more than 100 APIs there:

The goal of alsa_sound is to give out-of-the-box sounds for Linux, that could be used, for example in place of the fpc "beep" method.
Only the alsa needed methods to produce sound without any dependencies are implemented.

So, sorry, there is no plan to extend it (there is uos for a complete audio framework.  )

OK, I though this ALSA API interface is independent project.
Well, more fun for me to work on...

Note we also have libjack in trunk fpc packages.
That one is implemented in full.
