it is probably silly, but it was the only way for me to write a
working driver for the cards i could find on the market. As usual
in volunteers projects, one is bound to the decisions and preferences
-- however wrong they might be -- of whoever decides to work and
support a given project.

I tried for a couple of months to work and fix the voxware driver but
eventually had to give up and rewrite one from scratch.

> that people start coding for Luigi's driver to make it work with their cards :)

right... there are tons of users out there who have ESS boards and
complain that their card is so nice because it can do 16-bit stereo
and perhaps full duplex, and why my driver only uses it in SB
emulation. I wish one of them had the time to add support for the ESS
in my driver :(
