This moment explicitly specified in updated man page =20 > and I am going to specify it in UPDATING. Is there a way to move those HDMI ports to the end (either in pcmX or =20 in the probing) somehow? If yes, it would be more POLA to do this =20 instead of requiring the users to do something. And related: do all detected analog ports appear in a sensible order? =20 What I mean is again POLA related. If someone updates from 7.1 to 7.2, =20 will he be required to do something to get sound out of the same =20 connector as before when connecting to the default audio device? If =20 not, is it possible for you to introduce some corresponding sorting =20 before MFCing? Bye, Alexander. --=20 The more data I punch in this card, the lighter it becomes, and the lower the mailing cost. =09=09-- Stan Kelly-Bootle, "The Devil's DP Dictionary" http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
