As of yet, the FreeBSD soundblaster sound drivers don't support > full-duplex PCM. The GUS sound driver does (other cards may as well). I too have heard the GUS card was the best supported sound card under FreeBSD. But I don't know what a GUS card is, or where it can be found. Hint. Hint. If I buy a sound card (Santa didn't), full duplex audio under FreeBSD will be a "must have". -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
