[BRLTTY] [Fwd: No braille support when using Alva Satellite viaUSB (protocol)]

[Michael Whapples]

Libbraille is not needed for brltty. Libbraille is a bit like brltty and 
brlapi except it follows more of a library design than a daemon process 
model. Brltty can use libbraille for output, but why use it if brltty has a 
driver already for your ALVA (as a note: I never got libbraille to work with 
my ALVA in windows via USB, although Samuel may have explained this as I 
probably installed libusb-win32 before libbraille when I was using 
libbraille in my own projects).
