Coder and kung-fu fighter extraordinaire François Revol (aka mmu_man), announced today (though he first showed it last night on the #Haiku channel) to the Haiku mailing list, that he has successfully ported OpenSound System to BeOS/Haiku. To quote from its site, OpenSound System is the "first attempt in unifying the digital audio architecture for UNIX".

According to François the port isn't finished yet, but he can hear glorious sound through his speakers, tested with ATI and SIS chipsets. And the goal is to of course, give our platform a wider support for audio devices, while using the Media Kit.

You can read it all for yourself, at the mailing list, and you have two versions to choose from: the long version or the really long version. Great work (once more) François.
