Thanks for that. This is pretty much how I had read it. From what I was 
reading, this is in no small part as to why creamware failed. Although 
apparently the new crew at Sonic Core are more obliging, -since they're 
trying to capture the OSX market- they still haven't paid much more than 
lip service to this.

Damn shame that. Some nice DSP power sitting there and pretty much useless.

Thanks once again.

Be absolutely icebox.
