Well, I am keeping my multimedia list it took some time to get it going since I have never created a mailing list and it was at least for me a bit of work. Definitly a process for creating a mailing list for FreeBSD ought to be in place. >"Julian Stacey <jhs@freebsd.org>" said: > > Great, (except multimedia it isnt, that's just the salesman selling you a > glossy name to hype the price for a sound card ! > Or does your card do sound light smell vibration etc, like an over developed > Sensuround cinema ;-) If you take out the smell bit out yes I do have an over developed Surround stereo system connected to my FreeBSD box; additionally, my FreeBSD can answer the phone for me so I may not be disturbed while I am watching a movie :) I am constantly kicking my self around for not getting my dirty hands on an infrared controller that my system desperatly needs. I hate to get up from my sofa just to pause a damn movie. Another way of looking at my mailing list is as a virtual group for purpose of multimedia related work. About the term multimedia: Sound Well, the GUS can put out dolby surround audio stream and if you have a surround stereo system you can lay back and enjoy the GUS like I have :) Granted the demo was on DOS however there is nothing stopping us from doing in it FreeBSD. Views & Sounds For starters , there is mpeg hardware support , H.261 for video conferencing, and video capture via an H.261 board or a more traditional video capture board support, X support for mpeg on the works so sound@freebsd.org will not cut it. Additionally, some of the projects will spill over into other OSes. A simple example "bat" my vat clone -- it has to interoperate with other RTPv2 tools and I received a few of requests already for rtp_testbed and bat from individuals not running FreeBSD. >Your multimedia@... is a nice idea, but I'll never remember the hostname, >to be able to quote people, could we move it to freebsd.org please ? As for you forgetting my host name is very easy look at any postings :) Now what we do need are *more* developers that fall into the Multimedia Arena! Cheers, Amancio P.S.: to subscribe to my multimedia list mail majordomo@star-gate.com subscribe multimedia
