Subject: [alsa-announce] 0.9.0beta7 release
Date:	 Thu, 23 Aug 2001 10:18:55 +0200 (CEST)

Hello all,

	the next beta release is available with many bug-fixes. Since now,
the distribution packages alsa-tools and alsa-oss are available, too. At
the time, we are trying to fix all bugs, but please, be patient. It's not
quite easy task to make a testing environment which shows the bug.
	Anyway, please report the bugs (when they are not reported) on
SourceForge (you'll find the right links on the ALSA web site). I know, we
are processing the bugs very slowly, but believe me, our capacities are
limited.

					Have fun,
						Jaroslav
