I've been on the question list for some time, and I have noticed that many people do not know how to get sound support up and running in FreeBSD 5.X. I know that re-compiling the kernel is easy enough, but there are still people not willing to do so, as I have noticed on the list. Therefor I thought it might be an idea to put sound support in the GENERIC kernel configuration, so that newbies will no longer find themselves stuck with that.
I think I've read more than one time about problems fitting the installation on the 1.44M floppies.
That's no longer a problem in 5.x. I would like to see pcm(4) added back to GENERIC on 5.x. 4.x has been around long enough that its GENERIC can probably just stay the way it is.
That being the case, then there's no reason not to have it in GENERIC in 5.x. Anyone that doesn't want/need it will be recompiling the kernel to remove other unused options.
The less new (desktop) users have to do to get up and running is probably a good thing to do. Any concern I had is gone.
Best regards,
Randy
