"vat-hasty-fix" is a vat audio driver suitable for full duplex soundcards such as the GUS PnP and the GUS Max. The distributed vat audio driver for the Voxware sound driver is a half-duplex audio driver. One could merge my audio driver with the distributed vat audio driver so that we wouldn't need to burden people to know which audio module to use. If anyone is interested in helping out please drop me a note. Because I don't know C++, I need someone who knows C++ well to merge the two C++ audio driver modules. As for the glue logic to decide to use the half-duplex or the full duplex audio module , I can take care of that. The alpha sound driver in my ftp directory remains in an alpha stage till someone from the SB camp can step in and finish debugging the SB section. Since we are having problems recruiting someone to work on the SB section, we can sort of vote on to check in the sound driver in -current with the hope that a SB hacker will be motivated enough to work on it. As for the use of vmix as a socket interface , we should strongly consider merging in the code into vat so as to not burden users with the operational aspects of running vmix. In other words, we should try to keep it as simple as possible. The socket interface from vat to vmix was a good idea when we *didn't* have the sources for vat. Amancio
