Greetings,
I'd like to retire the spkr driver. It was a cute hack before sound cards
were ubiquitous, but it's not been kept up to date, and it's not clear that
it still works.... It is still Giant locked, and though it's not a huge
effort to do the locking I literally have no way to test it that I trust...
Is anybody using it these days for anything? If not, I'd propose we
de-orbit it before 13. If so, I need people to test patches to remove
Giant...
I still use it for important events, as alerts that something needs attention
on any one of my servers. It's easier to distinguish, and while many boards
include more complex sound. The speaker is "cheap" and easy to use.
I should be able to help test.
Thanks for the heads-up!
