I kinda get the impression, given how long it took him to do any updates around the emu10k1 driver, that he isn't into the intricacies of the sound system code - that matters such as the scheduler, memory management and the like (and the theory involved in optimal performance there) pique his interest vastly more. I attribute that to him being human. -- Mark L. Kahnt, FLMI/M, ALHC, HIA, AIAA, ACS, MHP ML Kahnt New Markets Consulting Tel: (613) 531-8684 / (613) 539-0935 Email: kahnt@hosehead.dyndns.org
