Hello, I hope this is the right place to post questions like this. As you might know, I have written a program for FreeBSD that reads digital audio via the SCSI bus. So far I haven't bothered to implement any jitter correction, because it works perfectly well without j.c. with all three drives which I'm able to test it with (a NEC and a Toshiba CD-ROM drive, and a Philips/IMS CD writer). Now my question is: How important is jitter correction? Do only older drives need it? Or am I just lucky that my drives work without? By the way: would it be appropriate to make the program a FreeBSD package, or would that not be worth the effort? I'm a bit hesitant since I've never done that before, but a tool to read CD digital audio seems to be missing in the FreeBSD ports/packages collection so far. If anyone is interested in the program, it's available from this web page: http://www.heim3.tu-clausthal.de/~olli/tosha/ Best regards Oliver Fromme -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18-61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de)
