I'm picking up the M-Audio Audiophile 192, mostly becuase this sound card does work well with FreeBSD/OSS drivers, from what I've read. ? But mmm, unfortunately I didn't even know/remeber that FreeBSD has no midi at all ? It certainly won't prevent me from using *BSD anyways. Hopefully, midi may ba added in the future. ahh well :( > Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 10:20:11 +0100 > From: olli@lurza.secnetix.de > To: freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG > CC: > Subject: Re: LinuxBSDos.com article > > Jayton Garnett wrote: > > Why would I be bothered about MIDI? > > You wouldn't because you're obviously not a musician. > > > I've got an on-board sound card that has, get this, 5.1 Surround Sound. 5.1 > > surround sound, can you ruddy well believe it? > > What does that have to do with MIDI? > > I've got a MIDI keyboard that can be connected to a PC. > It can be used with almost every OS on the planet, from > ancient MS-DOS to Windows 7, of course OS X and Linux, > NetBSD and OpenBSD, and even less common systems like > OS/2, BeOS and its successor Haiku-OS.
