Apple Posts Update to the Carbon Sound Manager
JustZisGuy writes "Apple has released Carbon Sound Manager Update for OS X 10.2.2, available via the Software Update utility. According to Apple, the update 'improves reliability and performance of some applications that access Carbon Sound Manager.' Hopefully this will fix the audio cracks and pops found while recording in Carbon apps."
Sure, perhaps the play-by-play may on the outside seem annoying, but really it is just an opener for a forum discussion. I like reading about people's experiences with the updates before I apply them. I suppose I am a nerd, and that would be news for me, thus preserving the /. mission. Otherwise they would have to drop news about BSD, Linux, etc. update annoucements too...

C'mon!!! Is it that hard to just not read a story you're not interested in? Get a life.
I get mod points on a regular basis, on average every seven or eight days. My thinking on why you were modded redundant is because the contents of your post are often expressed and don't forward the discussion.
You wouldn't complain about someone modding an "I'll never use a Mac till they have two mouse buttons" or "I can't wait till they release OS X for x86" posts as redundant. They're commonly expressed and superfluous posts which don't forward any discussion, i.e. redundant.
Many people on Slashdot and Macslash find these notices useful, especially when a bug is found or when looking for details on what the update does. The same advice applies to you as to people complaining about sex on TV - if you don't like it, don't watch it.
