Take a look again at http://staff.mybsd.org.my/skywizard/FreeBSD/sound/ I guess the most important thing is to address the panic issue (mixer.c.diff / sound.c.diff) and sluggish fixed rate ac97 (vchan.c.diff). There are also other issues, such as MPSAFE (those pci/ diffs), ac97 volume resolution detection (ac97.c.diff), and I still consider it as a top priority too. Considering our current state of sound driver, I don't mind if it breaks other people (that should help us progress, I think) > > > sigh.. ac97.. nurturing it makes me crazy.. > > Please please please don't stop. > --Mat > Revamp entire sound infrastructure, shall we :) -- Ariff Abdullah MyBSD http://www.MyBSD.org.my (IPv6/IPv4) http://staff.MyBSD.org.my (IPv6/IPv4) http://tomoyo.MyBSD.org.my (IPv6/IPv4)
