Wow -- there's a flash plugin for Netscape?  That's what I needed for a
couple of web sites.  Also, I hope to contribute in some way to broaden
FreeBSD's sound card support.

I have the ESS 1868.  I just made a printout of the data sheets for this
particular sound card.  If anyone out there needs the pdf version of the
ESS 1868 datasheet/specs, just email me and I can send you a copy via
email.

So far, it looks like the 1868 only does full duplex in mono. ;-(  (Is the
1868 even worth worrying about?)

Also, how well does the ProAudio Spectrum 16 work at this point right now
in -current?  Does it work flawlessly?

Whatever happened to the company that made the PAS 16?  I saw where
MediaVision doesn't exist anymore.  Has another company taken over PAS
development?

Anyhow, as far as ISA cards go...  how does the PAS 16 compare to the ESS
1868?  I think the PAS only gets full duplex when you've got both the PAS
and the SB compatibility side working in tandem.  Well, I've got a PCI
machine (Pentium), so I imagine a PCI sound card would be worlds better.
