To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 15:24:54 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Not too long ago, sd/sdr showed the announce of the "FreeBSD lounge". It was the time of the hard-to-get matrox meteor, and "there is only one soundcard, and it's named GUS". No wonder that there was not much traffic on that group and this is probably why it is not announced anymore. Now that we have much better multimedia support, I think it would be a nice thing to re-start announcing the group on the MBone. I discussed this with Jim and he's probably volunteering to do that. Of course it would be great if there was also some content being transmitted... even background music from some radio station if necessary... One thing i suggest, if possible, is to default formats etc to something that can be carried on modem lines, i.e. GSM audio and low-bandwidth, low resolution video. cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
