. perhaps could be a porting of the IOKit
driver system from Darwin, perhaps even allowing Darwin drivers to be
used on FreeBSD. All of this can go into a kernel module so that if all
one uses is native FreeBSD drivers made for FreeBSDs normal driver API,
they won't need to load this subsystem.
You see, you could have just proposed this in the first place instead of
provoking a flame fest, ranting about, mostly imagined, lack of
documentation, GUI configuration tools and giving condescending lectures
on programmer productivity. Oh well...
Right on, Nikola !
But David's paragraph I left in is a real dream for me. It is basicaly
what's keeping me from using FBSD as my audio workstation.
I have an Echo Gina3D card there is simply no FBSD driver for it. But
there are Mac drivers from Echo!.
I even too a shot at downloading the framework/API from Echo (windows :(
) but it is just way above me.
A colegue from Japan had written a driver for an old Echo Gina 20 bit
which I managed to compile and load (believe it or not) but it was for
FBSD 5. I tried to compile it on my FBSD 8 STABLE but it issues too much
errors that (again) is beyond my capacity.
But I'm a stubborn one, so I'll try to keep learning from my mistakes.
Maybe one day a new driver for FBSD will be born.
Completely off thread now... but I've had success using FBSD as an audio
workstation for a recording job.
Humm ... Drivers off-topic in a Kernel Internal documentation discussion?
It may be a little off-topic from the OP, but waay OT? Please, allow me to
disagree.
Used Audacity, Rosegarden, hydrogen and Jack with a Yamaha usb
soundboard. Midi was an issue though, and I used a linux workstation
with Jack using net backend. That was over a year ago, and now I believe
there is a jack midi interface for FBSD.
Works well, but your hardware sounds like it does differ greatly, sorry.
Yeah! I've done that too (all on FBSD). But I need it to work with a bit
higher end cards like the Gina3D for pro-work.
