No, (speaking for the 5.3-STABLE branch) sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans also works, if sound support has been compiled into your kernel. You can set the sysctl via /etc/sysctl.conf or /boot/loader.conf or commandline. According to 'man 4 sound', sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans holds the maximum number of vchans, that the system will be allowed to create. The sentence "hw.snd.maxautovchans is the number of virtual channels a new audio device is given when it is attached using kldload(8)" is possibly wrong. I must admit that I have never tested sound-module loading via kldload. - -- Christian Hiris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBvjt709WjGjvKU74RAmnEAJ9dfno0vYrONMUPGieQXn7uL1Q39ACfVGo/ Sny8Hba2LPx1cihPLNTVRCY= =IgJk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
