Jim Lowe I believe has the specs for the GUS MAX's codec. o A couple of minor releases from Hannu proved to be too difficult to integrate into FreeBSD in a timely fashion for the 2.0.5 release. o We keep getting into problems with the way that we devised to implement dual dma operations and as it stands it is best to re-code dmabuf.c to support dual dma operations. A while back I mailed to Hannu and I came to the conclusion that the fastest way to provide dual dma operations is thru the current existing mechanism;however, with the GUS MAX is time to do it the "right" way. o Right now , I don't have a lot of time to work on the sound driver so at least progress on my end is going to be slow. When I have something that is worth releasing to the group,I will be happy to post it.Till then you either going to have to be a little patient or sharpen your pencils :) Cheers ------------- Amancio Hasty Hasty Software Consulting Services Tel: 415-495-3046, Fax 415-495-3046, Cellular, 415-309-8931 e-mail: hasty@star-gate.com
