FreeBSD is volunteers, not a paid } organization. Anyone works on whatever floats their boat, at their own } priority. If they do a good job and observe the style and coding rules, } and don't break things, their code stands a good chance of getting } committed. There isn't anybody standing over you, whipping the lash and } setting priorities. } Yikes! I didn't say development priority. Interrupt priority. Sound is the only real-time i/o we have, but it's given a lower priority than many other drivers. This contributes to some of it's problems. Given enough other i/o activity sound i/o can become starved for data. If it were given higher interrupt priority this wouldn't happen. - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
