[cc's snipped to remane sane] [someone whose attributes have been lost said] ! No. I don't use it. Voxware does everything my sound card ! knows how to do. I'll be using Voxware till it rots, I expect. >On Mon, Oct 12, 1998 at 07:09:25PM -0700, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote: @ Voxware has already rotted.

[someone else whose attributes have been lost said] >It works amazingly well for rotten code... I concur. I will be much saddened by the removal of voxware: It works exceptionally for my setup, a pnp awe32 with a yamaha daughterboard. I looked at the source to luigi's stuff and it still doesnt support the midi devices. While i have no complaint about that at all (after all, there's nothing that says it has to be supported), it strikes me as intriguing to remove a working sound driver that supports something as important as midi, in favor of a sound driver that does not. I suppose as Jordan says, if they remove voxware from freebsd, some of us users will have to conspire together to maintain it seperately. Anyone interested in such a project? I admit i would have to join; all i do with my sound card is 'playmidi'[1]. I cant be the only one. Jeremy [1] I know someone will point out timidity, but thats not really much of an option. The daughterboard I have on my sound card is much better than any patches I can get for timidity, and wont require all my CPU time to boot.
