First off, you don't need that much processing power. The box I setup is a very crappy pentium 166. I had to throw in extra RAM in order to run X properly (64M), but apart from that, the box was ok. I had a spare AWE SoundBlaster lying around which is perfect for the task. Just to give you a rough idea, I think it could be possible to stream audio to 2 cards using such a box since XMMS uses around 40% of the CPU decoding one stream. You have some plugins for XMMS that enable it to use infrared remote controls but I'm not sure the level of support those have on fbsd. See xmms.org for more details. For the CD ripping part, I suggest using Grip + ATAPICAM (if you're using IDE CDROMs), it can be configured to automatically rip cds on insertion. As for the web interface, I think you'll have to code some stuff up yourself since I don't know what software is available there. But you could setup some kind of .pls (or .m3u) playlist generator that would feed this to xmms. But why use the web when you can avoid it?! :) There's been some discussions over -stable about some tiny fanless PCs that you might be interested in too. Cheers, A.

Don't having a terminal right in front of it doesn't mean you have to revert to the web. There are plenty of solutions for remote display. X has it builtin and the ports collection has many VNC solutions if you intend to control the thing with a non-X box. A.

I have mailed them myself already, but would ask that anyone else interested in seeing them develop native FreeBSD drivers for the new card contact insales@matrox.com. Reading documentation on the Linux driverset, it looks like they would just need to port the kernel module to support Bus Mastering, so this really isn't asking a lot of them. If anyone has the knowhow and time to help them with the port, I'm sure it would further the cause :) - Robin PS: I posted this to hardware earlier, but thought multimedia might get more attention as this is largely a multimedia card.

Of course, I immediately plugged it in to my FreeBSD laptop to see what would happen. The umass0 device was seen and it read a vendor and product ID but didn't match them to the player, since it's not supported. My question is whether these things use a common format or are they all proprietary? Could I modify the umass code so that it looked like a Diamond Rio to the probe, for instance? I also got a 32 mb "pen drive", which worked immediately when I plugged it in the USB port. I was kind of hoping the MP3 player would also look like a DOS drive, but not so. Can anyone give me some info on this?

(jmallett@luna:~/mixer)11% ./mixer pcm 100 Setting the mixer pcm from 90:90 to 100:100. I thought about making it not change settings if the old were the same as the new, but I decided that would be mild overkill, though of course, that's something someone else might say is useful, so I'd be glad to update the patch to do the same. I'd like to commit this some time in the next few days, so it doesn't get lost in my head. Note that there are many nearby meaning/style bugs regarding "left" and "right" and what things really are, and it wouldn't hurt to have that all cleared up, in addition to maybe some macros to give meaningful modes of operation. Just a thought. %%% RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/usr.sbin/mixer/mixer.c,v retrieving revision 1.16 diff -d -u -r1.16 mixer.c --- mixer.c 25 Jun 2001 21:06:15 -0000 1.16 +++ mixer.c 27 Dec 2002 21:33:16 -0000 @@ -217,8 +217,14 @@ else if (r > 100) r = 100; - printf("Setting the mixer %s to %d:%d.\n", names[dev], - l, r); + if (ioctl(baz, MIXER_READ(dev),&bar)== -1) { + warn("MIXER_READ"); + argc--; argv++; + continue; + } + + printf("Setting the mixer %s from %d:%d to %d:%d.\n", + names[dev], bar & 0x7f, (bar >> 8) & 0x7f, l, r); l |= r << 8; if (ioctl(baz, MIXER_WRITE(dev), &l) == -1) %%% Thanx, juli. -- Juli Mallett OpenDarwin, Mono, FreeBSD Developer. ircd-hybrid Developer, EFnet addict.
