The PAS is one of the funnier cards since it does do SB emulation, but uses an actual Creatice chip to achieve it. This gives the PAS two sound channels out (PAS 16bit stereo, sb 8bit mono). I would think that the sb part could be accessed by your drivers. But then i lose the PAS part and can _still_ only play two sounds at a time :) As to me writing a driver... Don't have the slightest idea how to. I would guess there are some defferencies between your driver and the voxware one, how hard would it be to port the voxware one, any guidelines etc? regards/ Joakim
