OK, maybe a poor choice of words. I meant "simply" in the sense of "only", as
in, "if this is the only reason, then what we need to do is get someone to
maintain the code".
I would gladly volunteer, as I think it's well worth maintaining at this time,
but I really don't think I'm up to the task (for that matter, I would gladly
offer to help add MIDI functionality to the new driver as well, if only). My
knowledge of the lower-level workings of FreeBSD (and of soundcards in general)
leaves *much* to be desired.
I *am* interested, nonetheless, in finding out more about what's involved in
maintaining a module, and about device drivers in general. Any resources?
And Luigi, I hope you don't take any of this personally. I just can't do
without MIDI. :-)
