Yes, but, but, but, ..... gmod doesn't work properly if compiled under -current (whine, whine). Seriously, has anybody besides me noticed that the gmod from ports, compiled under current often produces strange sound effects? E.g. if I try to play the bey.mod that came with my Ultrasound, there's weird beeping instead of some of the patches right at the beginning. Strangely enough, the old 1.1 binary I took off a backup works perfectly. (This is with a 1MB GUS 2.4, -current as of yesterday). Hmm says I, let's compile the version that worked anew under -current. I did and, guess what, while the glitches aren't exactly the same, the mod doesn't sound right either. So, anybody have an idea what might be going on? I guess it can't be the actual driver since the old binary works flawlessly. And don't tell me to use tracker, it sounds like shit in comparison to gmod and takes up 85% CPU vs. below 1% for gmod (This isn't tracker's fault of course, it just isn't designed to use the GUSs capabilities).
