Oh well... Right on, Nikola ! But David's paragraph I left in is a "real dream" for me. It is basicaly=20 what's keeping me from using FBSD as my audio workstation. I have an Echo Gina3D card there is simply no FBSD driver for it. But there= =20 are Mac drivers from Echo!. I even too a shot at downloading the framework/API from Echo (windows :( ) but it is just way above me. A colegue from Japan had written a driver for an old Echo Gina 20 bit which= I=20 managed to compile and load (believe it or not) but it was for FBSD 5. I tr= ied=20 to compile it on my FBSD 8 STABLE but it issues too much errors that (again= )=20 is beyond my capacity. But I'm a stubborn one, so I'll try to keep learning from my mistakes. Mayb= e=20 one day a new driver for FBSD will be born. =2D-=20 Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br =46reeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio.... YET!!] (99% winblows FREE)
