I think he doesn't touch a Linux system anymore at least in the coming two years... To much waste of time for him and he finds Linux audio not user friendly enough. Not saying it's your fault ;) It's just another example of trying things and another failure. He is not the type of guy who can deal with this kind of things or hasn't enough time for it. Thanks anyway. \r _______________________________________________ 64studio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel
