yeah, we're aware of this. as of right now, today, there is no movement to incorporate OSS wholesale, but I have already been digging through the sources looking for things that are useful and can be incorporated in the near future. most likely, this will help us with low level drivers and OSS emulation, but things could change. personally, I'm interested to see what happens in the other BSDs before I think much more about whether or not OSS should replace the current audio system. the source package mentioned above doesn't even build on OpenBSD, and the current audio system actually supports a wider variety of audio devices. that being said, I think it's awesome that 4-Front has decided to release OSS under the BSD license. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
