[Fwd: Re: [Voyage-linux] Voyage Linux Sound Support]

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi all,

Initially, i intended not to include sound module in kernel because of 
the size concern. 

But making voyage run under car PC sounds a cool thing.  I am now 
re-evaluating this possibility.  In addition, I am going to test 
asterisk under voyage, does asterisk require sound modules as well, say, 
the voice mailbox or so?

Regards,
Punky
