Well, you are a committer. :-) > VoxWare really sucked, and newpcm is great for pcm stuff, though :) The main thing that triggered my commit was that I was trying to do a cleanup pass over the old isa drivers, and the voxware code kept jumping up and making it Needlessly Painful (TM). For example, one driver has got magic values to spam into the pnp config space, which was fundamentally incompatable with the isa/pnp system. Another tried to manually do a PnP configuration run. (both drivers are present and operational in newpcm).
