-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (originally posted a message along this line to -stable by mistake...now corrected and hopefully going to the people who can give me what I need ; and with apologies to those getting this twice....) I have an s3 sonicvibes, and I really like it, especially when compared to the sound I get from my sb vibra16. Of course, I can actually GET sound from my vibra16 under freebsd, which is more than I can say for the SV. Since I know that Open- and Net-BSD have a driver ported, I was wondering what I would need to do to either encourage the porting of the driver, or to contribute what meager code skills I have to the project. Someone replying to my original post to -stable suggested that I might be able to shoehorn the existing driver into the template.c file found at people.freebsd.org/~cg/. It seems to me that there is more than meets the eye to that, or that perhaps there is an easier way. I did read the chips.txt file there, and noticed that cameron has docs for the SV card, but no card. If that is all he (or someone else?) is waiting for, I could part with it, at least for a while. On the other hand, if time is also an issue, as I mentioned above, if I can get a push in the right direction, I can probably work through it; though I would probably need a bit of handholding with regard to file locations and the like, I think the time investment in helping me might be less than the time investment in doing it yourself, plus the added benefit that in the future I might be able to help more (or reciprocate the handholding to somone else looking to port a driver....) TIA for any help.... mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjol2cAACgkQZ7GovTQbIm6fRACfaNNm4O9kwgFHvUD2KoZoP1EQ oX0AoI+sllT6NzIiiay8WD8KXyJb8wk9 =vrVq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
