My sincere thanks go to everybody who helped bring FreeBSD to the ARM and specifically to the Pi. It would be awesome if we could get ARM promoted to Tier 1 support this year. I'm interested in working on a driver for the pulse-width modulation audio output on the Pi, and I have the Broadcom document describing how it works. What are the chances I could base such a driver on some existing FreeBSD audio driver? -- George Mitchell
