Amancio Hasty:
 |Have you tried out ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/guspnp18.tar.gz 
 |with a SB16?

Yep.  It's surely getting better; almost, but not quite check-in time IMO.
After more exercising of guspnp18 tonight, here's the bug report.  This is
on a non-PnP SB32 (aka SB16 + synth):

   1) All 16-bit record yields a sample with background popping.  Popping rate
      is proportional to the record bitrate. (I uploaded record samples to
      your box: ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/guspnp18-sb16recbug.tgz).
   
   2) All 16-bit record has a dead space at the beginning and is chopped off at
      the end.  The length of the dead space and of the chopped off audio
      is proportional to the record bitrate (2 sec for 11Khz 2ch, 1 sec for
      44Khz 1ch, .5 sec for 44Khz 2ch).  In other words, the whole sample
      is delayed, with the last part being truncated.
   
   3) Occasional device close() hangs for 8-10 seconds (normal closes as well
      as closes instigated by SIGINT).
   
   4) Still get load pops for start and end playback of AU files (no Sun 
      header).  Not there in VW3.0.

Haven't tried the MMAP and Quake stuff yet.  Will check that out this
weekend.  Thanks for your continued work on the driver.
 
 |Not much to say about fxtv other that I use it every day and when
 |I can't run fxtv  for x or y reason on my system I get mad as hell 8)

Cool.  Yeah, me too.  

Say, speaking of TV, I guess you ironed out the problem you initially
mentioned running fxtv on your Millenium.  Never did get the full story
there.  Anyway, what I was going to mention was Hugh LaMaster posted to the
list asking about TV and requests for choice video cards, mentioning ATI,
S3, and Milleniums specifically.  I couldn't help much with the Millenium
side, but having been there yourself, you might want to give him some
advice/tips.  Look for the thread "Re: BT848 & ATI / S3 Cards" in your
multimedia folder.

Later,

Randall
