RE: LinuxBSDos.com article

 I'm picking up the M-Audio Audiophile 192=2C mostly becuase this sound car=
d does work well with FreeBSD/OSS drivers=2C from what I've read. ?

 But mmm=2C unfortunately I didn't even know/remeber that FreeBSD has no mi=
di at all ? It certainly won't prevent me from using *BSD anyways.

 Hopefully=2C midi may ba added in the future.
