Currently Xsync can't really work on Linux due to the lack of a retrace interupt connector in the kernel, and without that we have no good way of getting a good dependable master clock for Xsync (audio and video synching). However the Linux and XFree people I have talked to are working on getting both the retrace interupt connector in place and adding code behind the Xsync protocol to XFree. I would however like to also mention FreeBSD and how this work could also benefit FreeBSD so I was wondering if anyone here know if the FreeBSD kernel already have the needed support so you are just waiting for the XFree code and a good soundserver or if anyone would be willing to add such code to the FreeBSD kernel to enable Xsync to also work on FreeBSD.
