Hi, I just google'd a little bit and found a statement at http://www.bsdforen.de/showthread.php?t=4015 ... Daniel Seuffert states that ALSA would already run under FreeBSD. Hmm, perhaps this guy knows more than we do. > AA> I think, I'm going to collect some information about ALSA (although it > AA> doesn't seem to be documented very well). An ideal solution would be to > AA> have a FreeBSD implementation (or even better: OS independent) of the > AA> ALSA Library which works together with the existing ALSA drivers.

But it seems as if nothing has happened since then. Perhaps it is worth another look. btw: Can anybody tell me what the newpcm driver is? Damn, I'm a real newbie to that topic... :-( > AA> Does anybody know which parts of ALSA are GPL'ed and which are LGPL'ed? > >Why not just look into the source code? > > > Done so. As expected, everything GPL except for alsa-lib which is LGPL. Axel
