All it says is the following: "If you want sound you need a sound driver capable of supporting mmap()able DMA buffers, ie the -current sound drivers, Luigi's patches don't do this (maybe you could do it? :)" This is information that I knew prior to asking the list. My question is, is there some way I can upgrade my sound drivers to the ones present in 3.0-CURRENT? Or is this impossible without upgrading the entire system? ...!matthew jennings To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
