Doesn't seem exactly reasonable R>to me, given that IRQ's on PCI are *supposed* to be shareable. Oh, well. I tried the OSS driver on my 4030CDT (3.3-R/PAO3) recently. My first attempt had pcic0 on irq 11, so the OSS driver failed as you described. After moving pcic0 to irq 10, recompiling a kernel & rebooting, the OSS driver appeared to install OK. cat /dev/sndstat reported the driver, mixer(1) reported a bunch of settings, and output from xcdplayer found its way to the speakers, which was a good thing. Data through /dev/audio0 & /dev/dsp0, however, were far from perfect ! That, and the apparent size of the OSS module (as reported by kldstat) persuaded me to wait until something shows up in pcm for 3.x. --Gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
