Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk To all FreeBSD sound driver hackers: Yes! The new sound driver is out! The main new features are: - Support for more soundcards. - Full-duplex audio support for some soundcards (where did I hear that before?) - Experimental mmap() support for DMA buffers for some soundcards. One thing is on the downside, though. The driver is slowly becoming less and less portable (the pas t bunch of releases have all been 'L...x-only' :-( ). Time to do something about this?! Also several parts have been substantially rewritten, so ome of our porting work will have to be redone. Note: This driver is _not_ an official release. I will have to extract it from a Linux kernel. I will upload it to rah.star-gate.com:/pub/incoming as soon as I can reach this site once more (Amancio?) --- Alain
