I would prefer a working sound driver with source, but the current choices are apparently a non-working sound driver with source, or a working (?) sound driver without source. I am in the middle of developing a sound-effects program, and I am stalled right now because the driver apparently has a bug. If I had the time, I'd try to track down the driver problem, but I consider it worth $20 for someone else to get it to work. (And if they don't get it working, too bad for them -- the word would get around that they don't provide a worthwhile product.) When I upgrade to 2.2, I'll buy it. Meanwhile, the source is available for people who want to go that route. Steven > > Amancio > > >From The Desk Of Tony Kimball : > > > > Hmmm... it doesn't look good.
