OpenBSD 4.8 Released

Mortimer.CA writes "The release of OpenBSD 4.8 has been announced. Highlights include ACPI suspend/resume, better hardware support, OpenBGPD/OpenOSPFD/routing daemon improvements, inclusion of OpenSSH 5.5, etc. Nothing revolutionary, just the usual steady improving of the system. A detailed ChangeLog is available, as usual. Work, of course, has already started on the next release, which should be ready in May, according to the steady six-month release cycle."

Re:Audio on BSD?

[TheRaven64]

OpenBSD has gone down the userspace sound daemon route, with aucat. This is much simpler than something like portaudio and provides userspace sound mixing. I generally prefer the FreeBSD approach (fully working OSS 4 compatible, with high-performance low-latency kernel sound mixing), but the OpenBSD approach (like everything else in OpenBSD) trades a little performance for a lot more security.
