Daniel Seuffert states that ALSA would already run under FreeBSD.

But it seems as if nothing has happened since then. Perhaps it is worth another look. btw: Can anybody tell me what the newpcm driver is? Damn, I'm a real newbie to that topic... :-( > AA> Does anybody know which parts of ALSA are GPL'ed and which are LGPL'ed? > >Why not just look into the source code? > > > Done so. As expected, everything GPL except for alsa-lib which is LGPL. Axel
