I personally have big plans to enhance the multimedia framework under FreeBSD, like /dev/dsp, /dev/midi, /dev/video0, /dev/dvb by using the recently invented cuse4bsd. For example I want to make a system global Audio daemon that can do more advanced audio processing and not at least echo cancelling for audio devices, seamless and transparent to the client applications, using standard /dev/dspX nodes, which eventually will support Bluetooth Audio headsets aswell and 3G modems. The only part which is missing is time and a good sponsor for this project. --HPS
