Ingo, you have been very kind and thoughtful in all of your replies; for this I
thank you.
I guess I'm used to projects I like actually wanting help from the community.
The OpenBSD model baffles me.
For a long time I have had a great love for the project. I think I started
during 2.6 and
I see there are two types of donation receivers, the project and the
foundation. What is the difference between how the money is spent between the
two.
The foundation from what it looks like goes to paying the bills for the
infrastructure, how about donations to the project.
I've already many

Hi,
I've been frustrated in trying to find a way to help the project and thanks to
several people's replies I've been considering what I like to do with the
operating system.
My needs are simple, as far as personal usage goes; give me an offline system
with vi and hard drive access and I'll
I know for a fact that something is broken in either xenocara or the main

times. But I don't know how to trap it before it faults in order to see what is
going on.
My solution was just to ignore it and run cwm but

I opened xenocara/lib/libX11/src/xlibi18n/lcPrTxt.c and strcpy operates on a
buffer passed in through a pointer, so I don't think there's a way to calculate
the buffer length. I'm not very good at C, so I don't know what to do here. Do
I just leave strcpy in place or does the calling code need

I'll check out SoX's --ignore-length option and see if I can figure out what
they are doing there.
What I'm more concerned with than the implementation is which behavior seems
more correct; to try to play at the specified rate or to just ignore and play
at the default settings.

I've been trying now for a month to download source via CVS as per instructions
on openbsd.org; I get operation timed out every time. I get no ping from
anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org
I want to help work on the project in any way I can; I love OpenBSD.

SoX's --ignore-length appears in a few formats, as far as the wav format goes,
the code comments suggest it is implemented to handle 32-bit wav files greater
than 2GB. It seems you just found a happy side effect.

I was careful to look at the buffer lengths being written and to match them in
strlcpy and snprintf. I peeked at the source for instances of strcpy and found
a lot in xenocara; less in the
Basically I just changed all instances of strcpy and sprintf to use strlcpy and

I don't have a test machine and I'm trying to keep my installation as simple as
possible, but if anyone wants to try piping a wav file into mplayer or ffplay,
I'd be interested in the results. Does it work?

It is my understanding that wav files contain the headers necessary for a
program to adjust the audio settings for play, or to do the software process
necessary to reformat the input to the audio device.
It doesn't make sense to have the wav headers if they aren't going to be used.

I have an Asus Vivobook (1400EA),
and the hard drive is not recognized
by OpenBSD. I have the same problem
on some distros of Linux, but on others
it shows up fine.
