Heh, or Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." Let's keep air pollution to a minimum in all senses, eh? Oh for a world without combustion engine noises! We of all people should be able to appreciate it. At low speeds probably the noise of the tires on the asphalt and the buzzing and whirring of the mechanical parts in the engine is enough, coupled with proper education of drivers and pedestrians and the judicious use of a klaxon. Utopian much? :-/ L _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
