- The reason why the development is so slow, is that our main programmer
- (err, thats me) is in the army.
-
- However, fear not, the solution is here! :) Just a while ago, a new
- device-independent-audio system called AHI was released, as public beta.
- You can find it in aminet, dev/mis/ahi.lha. Note that we have nothing to
- do with AHI, it's made by Martin Blom <lcs@lysator.liu.se>.
-
- I wrote an AHI driver for Delfina. It is finished, working and available
- for ftp at the Delfina support site spot.lnet.lut.fi:/pub/amiga/sfx/delfina/.
-
- I decided to cancel delfaudio.library; AHI does have all the same
- features (multichannel playback & recording). The current driver uses the
- AHI mixing routines, ie. Delfina is not utilized in its full potential..
- However, now it's easy to update the driver later, all AHI products will
- support it immediately.

- Currently, the only missing things are the parallel and serial port
- support files. They were at very low priority earlier, my main concern
- was to get the multichannel support..
-
- Also, you might consider the fact that there are audio boards like
- Toccata and Sunrize that don't have multichannel support at all.. :)
