I would prefer to help develop or maintain the current version of Sound Drivers and thus keep ours a truly `Free' OS, instead of letting the drivers fall in to disrepair. In my opinion this would just add one more thing that most people want to have and are required to pay for (can you say hidden costs?), making our OS a little less appealing to some. brian +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian and Lori McCane he represents the last great schizm \ McCane Consulting among the gods.
