[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Workaround for broken OSS_GETVERSION on FreeBSD, part two

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Workaround for broken OSS_GETVERSION on FreeBSD, part two

[Juergen Lock]

Turns out on those versions of FreeBSD (>= 7.x) that know OSS_GETVERSION
the ioctl doesn't actually work yet (except in the Linuxolator), so if
building on FreeBSD fall back to using SOUND_VERSION as defined in
<sys/soundcard.h> (which atm is 0x040000) if the ioctl is defined but
fails.

I've changed the code in the meantime, so this wont apply. Also this
is wrong version is dynamic by nature, if someone runs qemu on FreeBSD
where SOUND_VERSION is less than 4, things will get ugly.

In the new code i mentioned one can opt for not considering POLICY
failure a hard error and proceed with a SETFRAGMENT path, which is
what i would prefer to see on FreeBSD.

Yes but running packages on an older FreeBSD version than they were
built on isn't really supported (read: won't work, especially if its
an older major branch too like in this case.)  On top of that,
SOUND_VERSION was bumped to 0x040000 for FreeBSD 7.0 already (the
commit is from 2006), and FreeBSD 6 is nothing more than a legacy
branch now that I think few ppl still use (or at least for things
like qemu), the last release was FreeBSD 8.0...

 Anyway, you are the qemu audio maintainer, so if thats really what
you prefer, fine with me. :)
