Hi, I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard = (http://www.m-audio.com/products/m-audio/audiophile.php) and am looking = for a matching FreeBSD driver. I'm new to FreeBSD and have recently = installed version 4.7 stable. Installation via FTP was a breeze and the = only missing piece so far is sound. I know that this soundcard is not = explicitely listed in the hardware compatibility list, but I was hoping = that maybe someone in the FreeBSD community came up with a driver that's = not yet offically listed, or at least that's there's work in progress or = some alpha quality experimental driver that I'd be happy to help = testing. This is not just one other exotic soundcard, it's an very good = one (all reviews are raving about it), with extremely low latency (under = 1ms on Mac OS X) and very good DACs. It's a very popular soundcard among = musicians for computer based music and I was hoping to be able to use it = on FreeBSD. Yes, there is an ALSA driver available on Linux, but I'd = rather stick to FreeBSD as I'm convinced of its design superiority and I = don't want to deal w/ the whole Linux distribution mess. I guess the = only Linux distro that got my attention recently is Gentoo = (www.gentoo.org), precisely because it "ports" based, a la FreeBSD, but = it's still in its early stage and needs to mature a bit I think. Thanks a lot in advance for your ideas/suggestions. -- Stephane To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
