It's OpenBSD specific right?
it's not OpenBSD specific by design, and is intended to be ported to work with other native APIs. it shoud work on NetBSD as is. nor is it a case of where things on OpenBSD are "just different", or unsupported. e.g. "new" POSIX mandated options for base utilities like od(1) or nm(1), or lack of support for MSG_DONTWAIT or ... and since it's only now shipped with OpenBSD, some projects are *more* likely to import a new backend than say, patches needed to make OSS audio work on OpenBSD, which might conflict with some other slightly different OSS implementation on another OS. but to be honest, I haven't yet tried to push things upstream. I tried to update gstreamer so I could send that backend upstream. it was the first real one I did, and has now been tested fairly well. bu then I had problems because flex in base is too old ... -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
