I personally use a sblive value fine in freebsd with the spdif out. Havent tried in yet, but out works fine. Actually less distortion than linux, on both current and stable. Only problem I have is that you cant adjust output volume with the mixer. I was looking at adding such functionality. I dont find much use for midi. I guess timidity is the only suggestion I can make there. there is driver support though, and it works fine -craig On Tue, Jul 30, 2002 at 11:06:39AM -0700, Cliff L.
