Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all; The status of our sound stuff is certainly problematic. I hope to be digging into the midi stuff and adding support for the turtle beach maui card in the coming months. I hesitate to make this statement because i am just finishing school and i am uncertain as to what the future might bring. But i know that i have been drawn to that portion of the kernel several times recently, and i suspect i will be playing with this when i am supposed to be doing something else! :-) does anybody have some examples of userland code that fiddles with hardware? i dont really want to do my early work in the kernel! the turnaround is too long, and the consequences of late night coding are too dire to deal with when it is a kernel routine! ( u guys know what i am talking about..that hackfest that was certainly gonna end at 9:00pm...9:15 for sure...that has dragged on until 2:00 am ...and u just noticed that u have done an "rm -r *" on /usr/local instead of /usr/local/foo .. ) ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
