X-BeenThere: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 16:04:08 -0000 Hi all, I've been on the question list for some time, and I have noticed that many people do not know how to get sound support up and running in FreeBSD 5.X. I know that re-compiling the kernel is easy enough, but there are still people not willing to do so, as I have noticed on the list. Therefor I thought it might be an idea to put sound support in the GENERIC kernel configuration, so that newbies will no longer find themselves stuck with that. The more advanced users and system administrators of servers will re-compile the kernel anyway (I think), so they might as well kick out sound support if that is not required. I hope to hear other people's opinion about this. Cheers, Jorn P.S: I am not suscribed on the stable or the hackers list, so please CC me.
