Since nobody's even supporting i don't have any problem in renaming files, but don't see any practical purpose (other than testing) since this is two different drivers for the same hardware and cannot do anything good at runtime. > the "old" audio driver anymore, perhaps we should just bite the bullet > and migrate for -current? Some people will miss their FM support, but what do you mean by 'migrate', if it is just a change in LINT (and ANTILINT as Eivind suggested) then it is no big deal. Perhaps we (you! i don't run current) should poll how many users use one or the other driver and decide on basing on those numbers. > hopefully also enough to help Luigi incorporate that support into his you are very optimistic, Jordan. For people in the need of FM it is much easier to use the old stuff and use the awe driver. the reason why i wrote the driver was that i did not have an alternative for full duplex on the audio cards available here, if i did probably i'd use my time on something else 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/ _____________________________|______________________________________ > driver.
