Mine doesn't work properly, but I don't know whether that's a bug in the hardware or the software. `vat' definitely doesn't work (in fact, it causes the sound driver to start spewing endless obnoxious messages to the console which should have been uprintf()ed or log()ged). Playing sounds does work, but as I'm sure you know, that has little to do with whether real-time applications work correctly. Unless the state of affairs has changed dramatically while I wasn't looking, the sound driver is currently incapable of providing the precise timing that real-time applications need. This is a bad state of affairs, but I don't have time to worry about it. > Is there any known drawbacks about using this card (for the > audioconferencing tools for exemple)? Well, I was able to compile IVS with audio support, but since nobody sends IVS-format audio around here, I have no way of testing it. I can't generate audio because of the bug I mentioned before. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
