Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Here I am with an AWE 64 doing fabulous-sounding wavetable-based MIDI playback using the Voxware driver, and now I don't dare try to build a new kernel and be stuck with the (comparitively) rinky-dink sound of timidity. I certainly can appreciate the desire to clean up the system and have a single audio driver, but this represents a major loss of functionality (at least for now). Guess I'll have to rewrite (or maybe just trash altogether) the AWE setup tutorial I just put up on my web page the other day. Very disappointed here, to say the least. -- Conrad Sabatier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
