Will departing from voxware make it more difficult to port audio applications to FreeBSD? I know that the pcm audio includes the voxware ioctls plus others. And OSS presumably has a few that it has added. More than once I have seen FreeBSD advocates recommend that apps be ported to linux first and this is likely to be the common practice as linux continues to increase in popularity. If our audio drivers begin to diverge from others, is this a good thing? -d To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
