Event TimelineComment Actions I think this is fine, but think it would be nice to generally prefer modules for sound devices. Comment Actions I don't have snd_uaudio compiled in my desktop's kernel, yet it gets loaded automatically and works without any intervention. Generally, we don't compile USB endpoint drivers into the kernel at all. So, I don't see the purpose of this change. Comment Actions Didn't know that. Thanks! Should we abandon this and remove it from powerpc as well then? Comment Actions I can't see any reason to fiddle with it. FreeBSD/powerpc is not widely used. It's better to focus effort elsewhere IMO. Comment Actions We ought to correct the man page though -- maybe "USB driver module as needed" or something |
