Getting sound on FreeBSD working isn't so cool. While having the modules split up into a dozen or so parts for different chipsets is cool from an engineering perspective, it's pretty confusing to users. Can't we just have a "kldload sound" thing that will load them all? Also the manpage for sound should explain how to load the drivers. -- - Alfred Perlstein - Research Engineering Development Inc. - email: bright@mu.org cell: 408-480-4684
