[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 5.0.24
Hello, I have noticed that VirtualBox 5.0.24 has a problem with sound. I know that someone has already reported this. But I have also noticed that when one choses the Host Audio Driver, it always defaults to the Null Audio Driver and this is exactly the reason why there is a problem with sound. Why this happens is something I do not know.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] [off-topic] Samsung acquires Joyant
I'm also subscribed to the Joyant SmartOS list, although I don't keep up with it as well as I do the OpenIndiana one. Catching up on post, I find that Samsung is acquiring Joyant, makers of the SmartOS distro, among many other neat things. https://www.joyent.com/blog/samsung-acquires-joyent This apparently happened, or minimally, kicked off mid-June 2016. Fingers crossed that Joyant, their products, and their employees come out of this unscathed.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [off-topic] Samsung acquires Joyant
The blog post says that Joyent will stay an independent subsidiary of Samsung. I don't know any Samsung employees, but I bet a Glassdoor search will say something about the company and how they treat their employees. Here's hoping that Samsung will nurture their latest acquisition. " 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning...

When I heard of it and read it on Joyent site, I was somehow happy, because Samsung is producing it's of silicon and having factories and large user base and the clear public image. As I remember Samsung makes it's phones with an ability to record phonecalls, because they implement function in silicon they produce, where many(most) other vendors doesn't implement it in fear of coming under local regulations and hardware is reused in many other models. So it's important to make your own silicon. That can also open the question of ARM port, where Samsung produces it. They got exceptionally fine server and cloud crew for them and not to forget big community for open cloud (SDC), distro and illumos in general, including Openindiana (extending partially to Solaris). If they keep the business and have it growing and open and reuse it, there's clear road ahead for Samsung, too. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
