I'm not quite sure... It should definitely be in 4.5-RELEASE, and I think 4.4-RELEASE too.

Actually, I think that FM synthesizer support in -STABLE isn't really mature, if it even exists at all (although I'm not 100% sure, perhaps you'd be better off asking Cameron Grant here too). I don't think the vchan mixing will waste too many CPU cycles, if the upgrade isn't a problem. > > -- > Control the lights in my room: > http://www.Danovitsch.dnsq.org/webcam > > Moo, > ]:8) > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
