It would help if you pointed out what's wrong, even if you don't want to send patches yourself. I know very little about soundcards, but getting mine working was a breeze and I got everything I needed from the handbook and the man pages (mainly the pcm man page). It didn't give me any misleading information, but if it's misleading for your setup, you should say what was wrong. For me, it was vastly easier than linux (when I tried it a couple of years ago, anyway). And the handbook section seems very clear to me. > Sidenote: Basically, this might not get fixed so late in the game but > something to do for the -STABLE series.
