Hi Luigi,

The mixer in vol now works great!
I do hear a little popping noise in the background... can't tell if 
it is normal or not...

Real Audio player also works great in 8 bit mode.
However, if I try to use 16 bit mode, it will give the error: Error 50
Is it because 8 bit is for playing and 16 bit for recording?  Can we swap 
that around?  (Some of us will not be doing much recording)...

The new bios I have (AMI 8/2/97) has an option to choose between PNP
aware/non-aware bios... Choosing the non-aware option, the bios
automatically configures DMA 3/7 for the SB AWE64 PNP.  Could that be
causing this?

Let me give you a pat on the back.  Good job... I think it is ready for
prime time use... definitely recommend putting the code in 2.2.5 and 3.0 
if it is not already in there.

Hmmm... is there any easy hack to get the sound to play aout of dsp0 and 
dspW0?  Would using pcm1 in the kernel instead of pcm0 do the trick?

Cheers!
