Any takers? :-) > > Wow!!! VERY bad idea!! This will just create more incompatablities! The API to USS can't really be covered by that copyright, so we won't have any incompatibilty problems. If we develop the sound driver independantly, then we can still stay 100% compatible with USS Lite. I really have to agree with Jordan that incorporating USS Lite would be a mistake. Since Hannu is now working for ForeFront(sp?) Technologies, I think we should just consider USS to be a "lost cause" for the base kernel. Forefront will still have the FreeBSD version of USS available, and if they are really commited to provide a USS Lite "Try it before you buy it" version, then they will provide it. Sujal
