Support for two sound blasters or the like, to get in and out audio, would be a really nifty thing. Also, having INCLUDE_PAS seems a lot nicer then EXCLUDE_PAS (that way you have four or five INCLUDEs instead of 15 or so EXCLUDEs). I know I should offer to work on this stuff, but I'm busy enough right now as it is :) I also know that its a Linux driver originally, and thus cleaning it up would be a little more of a pain because you'd have to clean it up for multiple system types... alex
