Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 00:14:12 -0700 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Briefly, 1. splay now works 2. rat does not fail due to non block i/o 3. recording from 16bit is fixed midi problem I have not had time to investigate. About the mixer , make sure that you copy cp /sys/i386/isa/sound/soundcard.h /usr/include/machine and recompile the mixer Not sure how vat is going to work on the new sound driver with the sb16 . It works rather will with the gus pnp pro. Presently, working on the rplay problem : DMA time out or that the sb16 is not generating an interrupt. Tnks!
