This makes it unnecessarily hard to write scripts to use the device. For example, I can't write a sndcontrol program to change the sample characteristics. and use dd to perform sound i/o, because when dd opens the device, the ioctl's have lost effect. Would a patch (of acceptable quality) to change this be well-recieved?

It greatly improves Teletext (videotext) capture and display. You no longer need to resize FXTV into a long thin window. And the new AleVT teletext program (/usr/ports/misc/alevt) works great. AleVT is much better than vbidecode + java or videotext which you had to use before. So, please can you download the driver and try it out. The driver can be found at http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 in the Snapshot/Beta Test section.

FWIW I see the same symptom running Fxtv on FreeBSD3.2stable with a Hauppauge WinTV primio. It also helps (in my case) to move the Fxtv window a bit, or iconise/de-iconise it.

When the video has glitches, like when the broadcast turns over from nation-wide signal to local colorbars from the cable company, bt often gives SCERR but restart attempt fails. Zeroing cap_ctl and _then_ writing the cached 'mirror' has cured this problem for me, could be a timing related thing too. Dunno.

I will be using it for conferencing as well as mp3 playback. I looked the the GeoCrawler archives of -multimedia, but the most recent recommendations were about a year old. I'd like high quality (low noise, etc) and I need full-duplex for conferencing. I will be using vat/rat and vic. We (NCSA) are doing a lot with conferencing via multicast. Most is done either from SGIs or Linux boxes (and some *shudder* NT), but I'd love to be able to be able to say the FreeBSD does it better. Our group (the networking group) is all FreeBSD, so from our side it will be FreeBSD. One thing was clear -- don't buy a SoundBlaster. It looks like full-duplex is well supported on WSS/MSS cards, but these cards tend (in my experience) to be low quality cards. Can anyone recommend specific cards (ie, Manufacturer/Model pairs) that are high quality and will support full-duplex well? The manpage and /sys/i386/isa/snd/CARDS tells me that the Crystal and OPL-SAx based cards are good choices, but I've had a hard time finding enough info to glean whether or not they have a supported chipset. I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

The software is being released as source code under a BSD-style license. We currently support FreeBSD, Linux and Win32 platforms. QDraw is a new open source 3D graphics api developed by the people that wrote Direct3D. This new api is a lot easier to use than current versions of Direct3D and has the advantage of being open source and portable across Win9x, WinNT, FreeBSD and Linux. It includes a simple event model and fullscreen support, allowing an application to be easily ported to supported platforms. If you are interested, please visit our website at http://www.calcaphon.com and check out the screenshots. More information including complete api documentation will be available soon in the same place. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

Given what I know about "the people who wrote Direct3D" and some of their previous affiliations, this is welcome news indeed! I look forward to playing with this myself. Are there any plans on cooperating with the Precision Insight folks on making this also take advantage of 3D hardware accelertion? If you like, I can put you in touch with the Right People(tm) over there - they seem to know quite a bit about this topic and could help you ensure the best possible rendering performance on X-based desktops. I can also put you in touch with the right people at Loki software if you'd like to explore the possibilities for Unix-based gaming... This is very cool - the screenshots are awesome!
