ALSA has been sponsored by SuSE for the benefit of Linux, and there's no reason we can't pull together our resources to do the same for our OS. I'm sure someone will step forward to do the port if we have the cash for them to comfortably sit in front of their computer until the port is complete. I'd certainly be more than willing to throw some money into a paypal account or whatever, and I think there are others who would too. OSS is so 20th century, lets get FreeBSD into 21st century sound architecture design. :-) If you're a developer seriously interested in this, lets talk. So much of FreeBSD development is sponsored by Universities and whatnot that we take it for granted. When stuff like ALSA doesn't get ported right away, I feel we need to realize our responsibility to contribute to the project as well. Sincerely, Pete...
