The limited testing I gave it (can it play No_Stranger_To_The_Skies.mp2, start / close FXTV (I still can't get my **** tuner to work properly), and start radio) was fine. I scanned the manual page, and that too seems OK to me. In passing, somebody suggested in freebsd-doc that /kernel.config could contain: USERCONFIG pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 5 drq0 0 drq1 1 port0 0x220 port1 0x300 port2 0x388 pnp 1 1 os enable port0 0x201 quit And, lo and behold, it does work. No need to remember to configure your sound card each time you install a new kernel. I've not noticed this in any of the documentation. -- Adrian Wontroba, Stade Computers Limited. phone: (+44) 121 681 6677 Mail info@accu.org for information about the Association of C and C++ Users or see To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
