ARM gcc with alsa

[Barry Vercoe]

Gozalo

Well, the targets of most Csoundxo bindings don't exist in Fedora 14 
Csound, which sadly doesn't comply with the full Midi spec, nor does it 
have fixed-point opcode options which in Csoundxo run about 60% faster 
on most processors (I've yet to test this on the 1.75's Armada 610).  
Faster audio processing frees up more mips for graphic interaction -- 
such as in the XO Music Painter activity.  The fork came about since my 
original Csound was developed for larger machines (and has continued 
that tradition), while Csoundxo is tailored to lower-power processors 
which conform to the price-point of affordable XO education in really 
disadvantaged countries.  The TamTam suite isn't a good example since it 
makes mostly trivial demands on either Csound.

I will continue trying to resolve the ALSA issues for Csoundxo, which 
runs just fine on 386 installs.
Any help appreciated.
