Well, I've been working on it off and on. I've gotten the guts (with the exception of playing cdrom's--doable but requires major hacking to the code), but there are some serious problems with the GUI--the damn thing is all but unkillable after starting--it uses some really weird kludges to "terminate" the app from the GUI that appear to be quite unstable under FreeBSD (and maybe elsewhere). There's a new version out though, and after I update all my other ports, I'll give it another go. jmc On Fri, 2002-07-19 at 00:48, Andreas Klemm wrote: > Hi ! > > Does somebody already the idea of porting ALSA to FreeBSD ? > > http://www.alsa-project.org/ > > Beneath FreeBSD making music is one of my favourite hobbies. > Currently I'm bound to windows for doing homerecording to > get pleasent recording programs. > > I noticed that there are also some great homerecording > tools available in OpenSource fashion, but they are written > to use ALSA. > > For me personally ALSA looks like a new de facto standard > in the Linux world.
