[linux-audio-user] Mandrake Audio Update

[iriXx]

sounds wonderful! thanks so much for your hard work...
im particularly pleased to hear about the low latency kernel and about 
the graphical setup tool for sound and USB detection.

i did try to report the bug with the USB quattro but i can't seem to get 
through to qa.mandrakesoft.com.... :-(
