Re: [rtl] Joystick

[yodaiken@fsmlabs.com]

Folks in Japan tell me that many people  there have discovered that you can plug a dumb
analog joystick into a soundcard and run a periodic RT thread to sample the sound card. I think
that's amazingly cool, but haven't been able to get someone to send in code yet.

realtime keyboard input seems pointless. Is there a real purpose?
