Folks contribute when they can and generally tend to focus on areas where others stand to benefit from their work. When you took over the sound driver upgrade project, my understanding was that you took over the "sound driver", not just the Gus-PnP part of it. If you don't have a particular card, you just need to solicit help. Someone may not be free right then to go work with it, but you'll probably get the help you need in a few days. I plan to go back and work with the 3.5 sound driver some more and hopefully learn enough about its workings to fix it for Sound Blaster cards. If I happen to get to this before you or someone else, I'll be glad to forward my updates back in (so we can rename it to something other than guspnp*, like voxware3.5-v8*). But I do plan to get fxtv 0.43 released first, which should materialize sometime mid next week. Randall
