Hello!
So I'm kind of bored and the following question flashed through my
mind. Since I don't have an answer I'll ask you. :-)
For MS-WIndows there are zillions of add-ons to make use of a
soundcard. Bells and whistles for every button, bootsounds and so
on. Well, personally I don't think that any of such stuff is neat or
even desireable *grin*, but I understand that people want this.
But what use does a soundcard have under FreeBSD? I _think_ fvwm has
support for it (I use ctwm). But does anyone actually use it? Are there
games with soundcard support? Or even utilities?
I know that there's software for recording/playing music, but I don't
think of that. I'm just curious if a soundcard is ever heard in the
actual everyday work.
Ok. I'm still bored ... back to work before I come up with an even more
silly question. :-)
-Walter
