Might also just be because the m68k port had been dead in Debian for a while due the lack of TLS support in glibc on m68k. However, the port is active again and in pretty good shape now. I'm currently working on fixing debian-installer on m68k, so that people can install the port without having to resort to things like debootstrap. > And, dmasound is a completely different implementation from the other > OSS, thus it doesn't suffer from set_fs() hack.

Ooooh, that would be awesome. If you need any testers on m68k, please let us know. I have plenty of m68k hardware for testing. > Does it sound more feasible? No idea whether it's feasible. But it sounds awesome :). Adrian -- .''`.
