I wanted to ask it yesterday, but from the other end :-) Actually, when I recompiled the kernel, I could not understand WHY average user have to recompile the kernel in order to connect a sound card? O'k, now I understand *why*, I think. BTW I have another question in the same direction. ATAPI support is not included in the GENERAL kernel. It means that you have to recompile your kernel in order to see the ATAPI CDROM, but if you have FreeBSD on CDROM, you cannot read it because GENERAL kernel does not support it :-) How can you exit this situation?
