I really must add my $.02 here. I would really hate to see the Voxware code dropped, as I need it to take full advantage of my AWE 64. The awedrv package (available from Randall Hopper's site at http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv) depends on the Voxware code, as it is essentially nothing but a number of patches to same. I can't see giving up a driver that gives me *full* access to all of my soundcard's capabilities for one that provides only limited functionality. IF the pcm driver supported MIDI/synth, I might feel differently (probably not, actually, since I doubt it would ever support the AWE as well as awedrv), but I feel this decision to toss the Voxware code is *way* premature. I really don't understand the eagerness to drop Voxware at this point in time. Is it simply for the lack of maintainer? -- Conrad Sabatier A billion here, a couple of billion there -- first thing you know it adds up to be real money. -- Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
