Well, 2 differences are that Luigi's drivers don't support mmap()ing DMA buffers, and don't support MIDI, whereas Voxware does both. OSS does midi, and I think it now does mmap()ing DMA buffers. > Quake wants the plain stock drivers and it doesn't work with luigi or > oss ones, x11 amp only works (for me) only with Luigi's and so on...

Although I can see the point to cross migrate.. This is of course providing that people start coding for Luigi's driver to make it work with their cards :) (Hmm, which include me, since I use voxware =) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
