There are also certainly a lot of drivers currently in GENERIC which would cause me far more concern if I was worried about things breaking during the probe. That's not to say that we shouldn't do such a "potential impact audit" for GENERIC at some point, but I wouldn't start first with the pcm driver if we were to do so. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
