Hi all,

We had to rename all the drivers and many other files to have unique 
names. For example the sblive driver is now called oss_sblive. In 
addition many files under kernel/framework have been renamed to have 
oss_ prefix. The work is still in progress because we have not decided 
how to name some of the drivers. However the renamed version is now in 
the hg server. make sure you pull the latest changes if you are making 
modifications to the drivers.

This change will have some unwanted side effects. For example the device 
file (directory) names under /dev/oss/ will change which may cause some 
compatibility problems. In addition the names of the driver modules will 
change. For this reason it's necessary to uninstall previous version of 
OSS before installing the latest version (otherwise the old driver 
modules will be left in the system). At least it's necessary to run 
soundoff, ossdetect, soundon and ossdevlinks -r after installing the new 
version.

Few more drivers will be renamed within next couple of days once we 
decide the best names for them.

This change had to be done because the build system of OpenSolaris 
doesn't tolerate duplicate object file names. For this reason we have to 
change all file names in OSS so that there is no risk of conflicts with 
the other parts of Solaris.

Best regards,

Hannu
