Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 09:47:03 +1000 From: Stephen Hocking Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk With all the sound stuff re-organisation, is there any provision for those sound cards that are truly bi-directional, i.e. can simultaneously record and play sound, usually over different DMA channels, such as the GUS and PAS16? Some of the networked sound systems really love that sort of stuff. Note that cards like the Soundblaster family are usually half-duplex, you can be recording or playing, but not at the same time. I do not speak for the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland - They don't pay me enough for that!
