Just a question: Do you believe that these drivers come sooner from pushing a release through the door? I cannot see the relation between incrementing the release number before time and having drivers available. If 4front hasn't drivers yet, do you expect them to grow from calling something 4.1? If a product lacks features this important to you, consider not using it at all. If you want some of the new features and still miss this very one(?) thing, think of replacements. Have a 4.0 box do its work and play the sound somewhere else (ever heard of rplay and other networked sound system? noone ever said a computer must have a noise board built in just to produce some sounds). virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
