Hello all,

some changes:

1. ecasound-announce and ecasound-cvs closed down

I will disable the eca-cvs and ecasound-announce lists today. This is 
the last post to these lists.

2. ecasound-list post address changed

The new official address for ecasound-list is '[email protected]'. 
I will keep the old address '[email protected]' for now. The 
list is still hosted at the same machine.

3. move to sf.net

At some point next year I will have to move ecasound-list to a new server.
Although the list service provided by sourceforge.net is far from perfect
(ALSA and JACK lists are at sf.net), it still seems to be the best option:
the service is free, sf.net provides usable web interfaces for both users
and admins and they are somewhat future-proof.

When relocating the list, I will also change the list policy so that mail 
can be sent only from addresses subscribed to the list. This should help 
to fight against spam.

I will possibly maintain the [email protected] posting address. Let's 
see how the sf.net mailman handles messages relayd via eca.cx.

4. alternatives to ecasound-announce and ecasound-cvs

To replace ecasound-announce, you can either subscribe to 
linux-audio-announce [1], or to Ecasound releases at freshmeat.net [2]. 
And of course, I will continue to send all announcements to ecasound-list.
As for CVS changes, I'll send a mail to ecasound-list whenever I 
make major commits to CVS.
