- In my dreams. Hello! Lars? Teijo?? Either of you guys want to totally
- rewrite your players to take over the audio interrupts and use them
- rather than the silly DMA wait stuff? And while you're at it, why don't
- you both get rid of that damn CIA code and use the timer.device, so
- it works on all systems? Oh yeah, and stop banging on my audio hardware,
- I want to see some code that uses the audio.device and......
