Hi Matt, Thanks for the update. Pulseaudio has been the bane of many people for a longtime .... seems it would be best without it if possible.
Is there anyway to get the Gnome sound setting UI (for example) to use OSS instead of pulse? .... or maybe some shim layer between pulse API calls and OSS ... (not ideal I know) Actually, I don't even know if the sound system is OSS in DFly, I know it is in FreeBSD .... documentation is a bit missing on the sound side I am afraid. Matt, very impressed with the speed/responsiveness of the kernel and Hammer ..... awesome work ...
