I think that, if you check the manufacturer of > your sound card, you will find it's '16 voices,' not '16 bits.' The pedant's pedant steps in - 16 bit sound refers to waveform sampling... IE, the soundcard (and in this case, Mr Pokrovsky's software) supports 16 bit waveforms, as opposed to 8 bit waveforms as used by older sound hardware. "16 voice" or "128 voice", as the case may be, refers to the music synthesizer on your soundcard - which means it can produce sounds from 128 different sythesized or sampled instruments simultaneously. Igor, I haven't had much involvement with the ports collection, however you could check the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook at the address below, if you haven't done so already. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html Regards, Daniel.
