works for me, mixer and record.

People here are just volunteers, not helpdesk, and they will spend their spare time here trying to help others. Sometimes they also get frustrated and give answers like 'it is in the source, go find it'. Sometimes they get hurt by unthoughtful comments and have no motivation to help any further. Sometimes they just feel happy to help fellow users and share their wisdom. And also, sometimes they expect that their answers also should be answered promptly.. (*) I don't try to say that any of you belong to this group. This is merely comment to the 'one problem with opensource' post. > > non-programmer.

I have tried many of the examples posted, but without success. I'm using 2.4, but if I recall correctly, spdif worked also with 2.6 Tommi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
