Well, you can always subscribe to : mail majordomo@star-gate.com subscribe multimedia where all the sound/video/conferencing guys hang out. For starters, I would never get a SB . I would get something like a GUS PnP specially for doing audio/video conferencing. Just join the list and we can explain in gory detail if you like. In the game and "demo" arena, the GUS is very , very popular. In FreeBSD the choice of the sound card is not that critical because we have one API. The problem comes in when one wants to take advantage of special features in the sound card . If you do then your application is limited to that sound card. Enjoy, Amancio
