It is only hide for the time being. There are a lot of issues to solved to integrate OSS into Solaris. During the development process, we feel that it will be more convenient to achieve it in different phases. Therefore, we changed the original case 2007/238(OSS for Solaris) into a umbrella case. And this fast track is the first sub-project of the umbrella project.
In this phase, we will solve two issues, HD audio hardware support and SADA compatibility support. For detailed information about the milestone of the whole project, please refer to the umbrella case. Best regards Freeman > Best regards, > > Milan > >
