Perish the thought that it might be for engineering reasons, dropping support for a driver which has had no owner for some time and has been almost entirely supplanted by another driver. Yes, the new driver has has no midi and fm synth capabilities, but it's also never going to get those abilities if those who are really keen to have such features never add them to the new unified sound code, choosing instead to remain with an increasingly crufty legacy interface. > Should we get a volunteer to maintain a cvsup snd tree, so that > all the fm synth and midi users can keep operating when this happens? It strikes me that such volunteer effort would be better applied to simply bringing such features into the new driver if you're now talking about actual 3rd party involvement in this area, something which has been rather extremely lacking in response to previous public requests of this nature. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
