Then come to BSDcan and attend my presentation on how to write a FreeBSD
device driver. Most people assume it's a lot more difficult than it
is... I won't be covering interfacing to the sound system, but the most
of the rest will be there.. Also, many times, it's easiest to simply
crib from another device driver... My bktrau driver was cribbed from
my zoran drive, which was cribbed from the bktr driver.. :)
