Leonard Oliveira from Brazil is doing this. I talked with him about this on
ICQ (his number is 2514302=Vic Viper) and he told me it would use indeed the
same ports as Moonsound, so indeed, the FM part will be the same as Moonsound.
This should provide a cheap alternative for Moonsound. It's quite a good idea.
He told me the price would be around 50$, if I remember correctly. Maybe he
can tell you more about this.
Hey, at least something NEW is being developped again! ;-) (Noted, Koen? ;-)
