    http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/snd970908.tgz

contains the latest snap of my sound code (and the one which should go
with high probability into the 3.0 snapshot).

Remember you need the PnP code to compile it, whose latest version is at

    http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/pnp970907.tgz

This snap fixes a number of bugs, and contains updated drivers for vat
and other applications. Feedback from users has been quite useful for
finding and fixing the bugs so I repeat my request for trying out this
code and reporting success with hardware not listed below, or problems
with any hardware.

The driver is known to work on

    full duplex:
	CS4236, CS4237
	CS4232 (probably)
	OPTI931 (modulo bugs in the chip, which i try to circumvent)

    half duplex:
	SB3.X
	SB16 (all models including PnP)

and perhaps other cards which emulate SB or WSS.

The following applications are known to work (some require special
drivers included in this distribution):

    vat (tested only in full duplex with WSS cards);
    speak_freely
    nas
    timidity
    most other applications which work with OSS/Voxware in half duplex

it _does not_ work with xquake.


With all probabilities, the next snap will contain support for the SB16
in full duplex (e.g. for using vat).

	Cheers
	Luigi
