Lots of nice new features and fixes. The *one* thing that would make this a dream OS for me would be for the sound driver for my PAS16 to work correctly. It does something similar to what the 2.0 sound driver did, it loops. If I cat an audio file to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, it will play about halfway through and start over, looping endlessly. Is this a common problem? Is there an easy fix? Or should I wait for 2.1? :) An otherwise satisfied FreeBSD 2.0.5 user.
