actually, i think that this has almost nothing to do with 3d array audio applications, because the code to do that generally runs in user space. the question under discussion concerns the control of hardware that has matrix control elements, of which there are only 2 known at this time. you could do 3d array audio stuff with many consumer cards entirely within the application code. perhaps i misunderstood your point entirely. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
