Re: [Gtk-osx-users] Spice modulesets

[Cliff Sharp <csharp vbridges com>]

Spice is remote desktop software for Linux.
It already is written to use X11 and GTK.

I am porting it to OSX and iOS
I thought that the gtk-osx project would give me a head start with Quartz but it would be better to use OpenGL regardless.

Thanks for your reply

So unless there's a CoreAudio backend to ALSA (seems unlikely), you'll either have to find a patched version of it somewhere or port it yourself -- which probably means writing a CoreAudio wrapper with the ALSA API.
