<p>Adam used PseudoFS as a starting point for an in-memory
representation of an Automounter Filesystem. This involved making a
few tweaks to PseudoFS to allow AutoFS to detect lookups. At this time,
the filesystem works and sends signals up to a userland program. Adam
plans to continue working on this, with Benno and Erez, to get AutoFS
working with Erez Zadok's AMD. The goal is to merge this work into
-CURRENT.</p>

<p>This summer was spent adding support for 4Front's OSSV4 API to
FreeBSD. A large chunk of audio ioctls were added, with a few
FreeBSD. A large number of audio <a
href="http://wikitest.freebsd.org/RyanBeasley/ioctlref">ioctls</a> were added, with a few
pending, and there is still work left to do with mixers/mixer
extensions (4Front's specs are still in flux) and MIDI (low priority
because, IIRC, MIDI still needs maintainership). I plan to continue
work related to the mixer extensions as best I can while attending
university full-time.</p>

<p>Roman was enthusiastic and optimistic, so I compiled a large TODO
list which would have been enough for 2 students. The basics of 2.6.16
support have been implemented, and several programs from Fedora Core 4
work now with osrelease=2.6.16. More complex applications do expose
some bugs, however. Most of his work is in the tree (the default
compatibility is still 2.4.2), and I want to get in most of the rest
this week (needs more testing with some critical apps). So far several
people showed interest in helping out.</p>

remaining bugs as time permits while attending university full-time. A
more detailed status of what is supported and what is not can be found
