>Description:

Chapter 14 "Sound" of the FreeBSD Handbook should really be a chapter
on "Multimedia" and should contain information about playing DVDs with
FreeBSD, playing popular animation formats (MPEG, QuickTime, Real),
etc..

>How-To-Repeat:

Look for glaring ommissions in the content of the Handbook.

>Fix:

Someone should please write this content and commit it, so that we can
all help improve it.  I will not have time to do this until 2002.

 :
 : In recent CURRENT versions there are /etc/rc.devfs (the usual place
 : where custom DEVFS links/permissions or other persistent state can be
 : added), and (for those of us who have adopted rc_ng, the NetBSD style
 : rc-scripts) there is always /etc/rc.d/devfs.

 :
 : No need.  I can do that.  Work on the rest of the chapter, and I'll
 : add what is needed to make the DEVFS part a bit more detailed.
