The crapness I noticed quite some time ago. I've been using the eawpats set by Eric Welsh on my workstation for a while now, and it sounds quite considerably better. It's been on my todo list for months now to package this thing, but I've put it off because it's big, and I only have a 56k modem at present. Seems like an opportune time to get around to it. Most of the set is public domain, but it contains a few patches which have "no commercial use" clauses; notably, a couple of pistols and the entire analog drum set. I'm going to experiment with removing, replacing or remapping these, to try and create a free package (if I can, I'll upload it to main and the removed patches to non-free). -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
