As you know (and mention often) Amancio, we all have other projects as well
as work and/or school going on in parallel in our lives.  Folks contribute
when they can and generally tend to focus on areas where others stand to
benefit from their work.

When you took over the sound driver upgrade project, my understanding was
that you took over the "sound driver", not just the Gus-PnP part of it.  If
you don't have a particular card, you just need to solicit help.  Someone
may not be free right then to go work with it, but you'll probably get the
help you need in a few days.

I plan to go back and work with the 3.5 sound driver some more and
hopefully learn enough about its workings to fix it for Sound Blaster
cards.  If I happen to get to this before you or someone else, I'll be glad
to forward my updates back in (so we can rename it to something other than
guspnp*, like voxware3.5-v8*).  But I do plan to get fxtv 0.43 released
first, which should materialize sometime mid next week.
