Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Test version of AudioFS


After many late nights of caffeine, pizza and debugging, I'm glad to
announce a test-version of the Audio Filesystem for FreeBSD. AudioFS is a
virtual filesystem that allows you to access audio tracks on your CDROM
drive as though they were ordinary .WAV files. This lets you, for example,
to encode your MP3's straight from the CD. 

Note that this is UNSTABLE code, and should not be used if you value your
data, diskdrive or bank account. Also note that there are still some
(minor) issues with the code; they are mentioned in the TODO file inside
the tarball. Please read it before you do anything at all. 

Most noteable of these is that I have not tested the audio-extraction
routine because the CDROM at my current location doesn't support digital
audio extraction. I've tested a replacement routine which fills a buffer
with zero's, and everything seemed fine, so I'm confident 'the real thing'
will work as well (famous last words). 

It should compile (and work) on 4.1-RELEASE. It's untested on CURRENT.
Included in the tarball is the source for the module and a hacked-up
mount_cd9660(8) and required sources from mount(8) for the mounting. Grab
your bits at:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~havoc/audiofs-0.1.tar.gz (12824 bytes)
MD5 (audiofs-0.1.tar.gz) = 3eb324903d1ce4387397d2878c4b51f1

Installation procedure:
$ tar xvzf audiofs-0.1.tar.gz
...
$ cd audiofs
$ make depend && make all
...
$ su
# cp audiofs/audiofs.ko /modules
# cp mount_audiofs/mount_audiofs /sbin

After which you can just mount your CDROM with 'mount -t audiofs
/dev/acd0c /cdrom'. If you're scared of the debug output (it's a lot, i
know), you can turn it off by commenting out '-DDEBUG' from the Makefiles.

Please note that this is my first attempt at kernel code, so go gently on
me :) Comments, panics, backtraces, style(9)-nailing and (preferably)
patches are welcome.

Please reply to t.vanklaveren@student.utwente.nl or this mailing list,
I'm using a temporary address (I'm not at home :)
