Hello There You may have heard that Creative Labs have put the source for the Linux driver for their SoundBlaster Live audio card under GPL (http://opensource.creative.com). This takes the form of a kernel module for Linux. I'm interested in doing (some of? ;-o) the work of porting this module to FreeBSD. I'm not very familiar with some of the issues involved in such a venture; could someone point me to a source of information on the issues that might be involved in doing this? I'm a reasonably experienced hacker but only moderately familiar with either FreeBSD(I have 3.1) or Linux(SuSE 6.2, as it happens). Pointers to FAQs or links very welcome - the FreeBSD site which discusses such things is more about making the distribution, and I'm not that far along yet...
