1 VoxWare v2.90 release notes
2 --------------------------
5 This version includes some hidden features which
6 are described in the file experimental.txt
7 Some of these features are not enabled by default. Look at
8 experimental.txt for more info.
10 I just decided to release this version with some
11 incompletely implemented features disabled since
12 there are some new features required by a popular
13 application. In addition there is also support
14 for the GUS MAX and the 16 bit sampling option of GUS.
16 The MSS/WSS support works now. At least with SG NX Pro 16.
18 ********* IMPORTANT *****************************************
19 Linux 1.0 or later is required to by this driver version.
21 Don't distribute binaries which use /dev/sequencer and are
22 compiled with the soundcard.h of this version. They will
23 not work with version 2.x of the driver.
24 *************************************************************
27 You will need the snd-util-2.5.tar.gz and snd-data-0.1.tar.Z
28 packages to use this driver. They should be in the same
29 ftp site or BBS from where you got this driver. For
30 example at nic.funet.fi:pub/OS/Linux/*.
32 If you are looking for the installation instructions, please

82 NOTE! I probably don't answer to Snail mail or FAX messages. Sending answer
83 to each of them is simply too expensive and time consuming. However I
84 try to reply every email message I get (within a week). If you don't
85 get response, please check how your address is written in the message
86 header. I can't answer if I don't have a valid reply address.
