Please write one then, or stop complaining. Why should I stop complaining ? I will do it as loud as I can and it it is my duty and oblidge as FBSD community member to appeal as much attention to shortcommings as possible in order to overcome them.So why should I stop ? Product (in this case sound driver)together with its documentation is beyond any reasonable critic( CS-student cannot settle this task) why should I be content with this piece of sh? As for the suggestion to write it by myself : why not ? Later . I will need pointers to some documentation just RTFS is uncultivated way imho.
