oh? NetBSD lets /dev/audio be opened non-exclusively, but AFAICS, there's no real mixing involved. just a hack to let stupid programs open /dev/audio twice. piss-poor, artsd? really? have you tried it in -current? I have not seen any PRs, nor even any comments about artsd. I use it daily. for both recording and playback. esd, yeah, piss-poor. or rather, a classic example of everyone and his brother "contributing". IMO, anyway. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
