The only reason I can think of to justify the continued > existence of Voxware is the lack of MIDI support in pcm. Few other small things like the voxware code initialises the Audio Excel DSP 16 into sound blaster mode at run time. (Dos users run a utility to do this). I don't think Luigi's driver does, but that is easy enough to add. Perhaps more of a deal could be struck with OSS. They really do have sound cards all wrapped up, hence their $20 fee.
