Man oh man, another great write-up by Dave Phillips. Reading tecnical write-ups from Dave Phillips is like being able to see clearly at a painting that was once behind a screen. I don't recall ever reading something from Dave that assumed prior knowledge. He starts at the beginning, progresses to the middle and ends when the picture is clear. When researching information for a certain aspect of linux/audio, I usually find myself cross referencing the internet and having several browers open. I read stuff Dave has written and say "ok, I get it". Good stuff.... Rocco
