before I test the latest OSS driver (build 1008) on my
6.2-RELEASE-p8 / SB Live (which will be tonight), I have
some questions:

Are there any plans to integrate the "good bits" of the now-open
OSS code into the FreeBSD tree? Are there gonna be any changes
to the sound(4) interface? Are there gonna be drivers for the
good-but-yet-unsupported cards (MAudio, Envy)?

If yes, then I am willing to be testing the portions commited to
the tree. If no, does anyone have a serious comparison of the
OSS vs. native drivers?

	Thanks

		Jan
