Well, IIRC there was a lot of debate on what special adaptations in the
drivers were needed for the Onstream. I happen to like devices that 'just
work' without lots of tweaking. The biggest compliment devices can get
IMHO is "Just works. Boring hardware". I'm not claiming that the Onstream
is a bad device though. Just more 'special' it appears.
