Add support for dynamic minors with the dynamic-minors USE-flag
The patch is broken, it shouldn't use echo, but rather use_enable, but nevermind this for now. Why you'd want dynamic minors for ALSA? Sound devices (OSS and ALSA) have their own major number, and it would require an awful lot of devices to actually make use of dynamic minors for this (not counting that I wouldn't count on all and every software to react gladly to this). If you can give me a reasoning to them, I'll see to it. Okay, no more information, please reopen if you have an argument for this. |
