Hi,

I think, that we now have a chance to make a better bells and whistles 
solution than in Linux. I personally have big plans to enhance the multimedia 
framework under FreeBSD, like /dev/dsp, /dev/midi, /dev/video0, /dev/dvb  by 
using the recently invented cuse4bsd. For example I want to make a system 
global Audio daemon that can do more advanced audio processing and not at 
least echo cancelling for audio devices, seamless and transparent to the 
client applications, using standard /dev/dspX nodes, which eventually will 
support Bluetooth Audio headsets aswell and 3G modems. The only part which is 
missing is time and a good sponsor for this project.
