The only issue there being that the new MIDI system just doesn't work.  It's 
missing code that is central to it doing more than sitting there and looking 
pretty, and there needs to be a configuration knob to allow non-PnP on-board 
sequencers for sbc to work (which I've done).

VoxWare really sucked, and newpcm is great for pcm stuff, though :)
