Well, I have the latest sound driver (V30) up and running over here with
my GUS .
We don't support vat with the SB & SB16 cards mostly due to :
(1) Not having sources for vat
(2) The VoxWare driver is or was ill designed to support switching back and
for plackback and recording. The GUS and the PAS16 support dual DMA
channels
so this is not a problem for we treat the the GUS as being two
separate devices when the card is operated in dual dma mode. The same
applies for the PAS16.
In the future, there will be an application written by Jim Lowe which
will interface between vat and the driver which will allow people to use
vat. vat has an i/o socket interface so that other applications can receive
or send voice data. Of course, when the sources for vat get release all this
driver and application glue will be unecessary. When will the sources for
vat will be released ? Beats me , it has been over two years in the coming :
If things go well over this week Jim Lowe and I will release the
new sound driver sometime this weekend.
Enjoy,
Amancio
