If people want me to move, I'll go, but I don't have facility of my own. As I said, I don't want to be a problem for OGA.

That is the assumption I'm working under. I don't see any other way it could be done. OGD1 might make a great software defined radio transmitter, but I don't see it being usable for audio.

Agreed on all points. But truly open hardware like this is certainly something to watch. If this bird can fly, it could be the beginning of a sea change in the industry. That is the one thing that has always frustrated me about the PC industry. Everybody guards their 'precious' so jealously that nothing ever works quite right. :/ _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
