It doesn't work that way. FreeBSD is volunteers, not a paid organization. Anyone works on whatever floats their boat, at their own priority. If they do a good job and observe the style and coding rules, and don't break things, their code stands a good chance of getting committed. There isn't anybody standing over you, whipping the lash and setting priorities. There are some drawbacks to this, but it's a darn sight closer to perfection than the alternatives, so you have to keep that in mind before you complain. As far as that goes, sound works great for me, but I've spent the time learning the pnp stuff and the new boot configuration setup. It's changed radically, so things just aren't the same as they used to be, and you have to do some reading to get your sound working. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
