Come to think of it... you might be better off spending that money on an inexpensive
SB soundcard (which is a snap to setup). At
least when you play mpg files, the sound will sync with the video. The OSS driver
will not sync up the audio with video very well.
This is while using "Mpeg TV" (shareware).
