This is a questions mailing list. I did not intend my "comment" to be trolling, it was a perfectly valid question. I really did ask it because I was curious, and because I believed FreeBSD to be server oriented (am I wrong?), and didn't bother to keep up with how well or how poorly the audio portion of it has been developing. Just because I don't follow EVERY SINGLE line of code in FreeBSD doesn't mean I am not interested in its other available uses besides my original idea of it as a server OS. If it really has progressed to the point of being an excellent multimedia OS, then I am more than happy because I have a dual SMP machine that I use as a workstation with an SB Live in it, and I didn't install FreeBSD on it especially because I believed that I wouldn't get digital out of it. So then this poses the question. Are you the troll for assuming I am trolling because I asked a simple curiosity based question for which I didn't know the answer to, or are you just that presumptious to believe that all replies that does not immmediately solves the original posters question to be nothing but troll/flame bait?
