What? device pcm is in now part of GENERIC? If not, then anyone who wants to get sound needs to build a custom kernel at least once. Back in the 3.X pre-pcm days there were good reasons why you had to. These days, there isn't. Sort of a funny cycle of reasoning about custom kernels. The people who don't want to go through the trouble of learning about kernel configing (let's call them desktop-heads) are the very same people who like bells and whistles (aka sound). The kind of people who really don't want/need sound for their purposes (let's call them server-heads) are pretty comfortable configing kernels, and probably are interested enough in performance that they want to. OK, I admit that post touched a nerve. :) -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
