Christopher, I'm sorry if you feel unfairly taken to task by folks like Ted and myself. It's natural to feel protective of someone's work in the project and react adversely to what seems a condemnation of it, but I also respect the fact that there was a legitimate message in what you were trying to say as well. Things that are broken from release to release irritate people profoundly and we've all been on both sides of that equation often enough to remember what it feels like. That said, what clearly needs to happen at this point is for someone who is experiencing such breakage to work with Cameron in resolving the matter. I appreciate that you're busy and that sound is a low-priority issue for you, but I'm sure you also appreciate the fact that things like this often only get fixed as "acts of charity." Somebody who could clearly be doing other more important things nonetheless takes the time to instrument the failing code a bit and correspond with the author in an attempt to give them some more information about what's going wrong. Perhaps this person also helps in testing the author's proposed patches to the problem and serving as his remote eyes and fingers during the problem diagnosis. I've seen few problems withstand that degree of commitment by author and vict^H^H^H^Htester and I'm sure the audio recording problems are no different, somebody simply needs to be willing to step up to the plate and invest the extra work required as an act of charity if for no other reason. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
