Not current. Very good. Now, I replied that it wasn't in 2.2, and that was a damn good thing because your next statement is wrong: > Gee, I wish it would have made it in because it > sure appears rock solid stable.

Making a change like this in what is meant to be a stability-oriented release would be completely stupid. > Oh well, I guess some of us audio folks > will have to patch the new 2.2.5 to get working sound then because the > standard sound driver does not work right or at all with most pnp sound > cards. bummer. :( 2.2.6 maybe? Great, so you have a working soundcard driver that is ABI-incompatible with most of the applications out there. Great. mike
