Cameron, I've been interested for a long time in contributing in some way to audio driver development. I'm a musician, and so, of course, this is an area very near and dear to my heart -- especially MIDI, which we're unfortunately still lacking at this time -- but I have to admit, I'm clueless as to where to begin. I have *zero* experience writing device drivers, although I consider myself a fairly competent C coder (i.e., provided the problem I'm dealing with is something I understand), and have dealt with low-level systems programming in other environments before. Any advice on how one might go about learning the ins and outs of device driver development for FreeBSD? I do have "The Design and Implementation of 4.4 BSD", BTW, as well as "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment". Any other tips would be much appreciated. -- Conrad Sabatier cjsabatier@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
