I thought Jack was a necessity for MIDI instruments and professional music production. If you say OSS can do it, then that's great. sndio, and sometimes portaudio, is often required as a frontend, in order to replace ALSA and other complicated sound architectures. > I ran osstest on my system and I was shocked how great my > sound system is This is what they commonly say about SNDIO and PORTAUDIO over FreeBSD's native version (/driver) of OSS. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
