Works very well here, tested with Quake III/ioquake3 and Quake I/Darkplaces- engine. Especially under load (== higher graphical settings) longer sounds get distorted, zooooooooooooooom becomes zooooockroooooockroooom. Is this avoidable somehow? Great work! Alf Btw., is there a recommended "bestest" audiocard for OpenBSD? I have 2 Soundblaster Live here (they work ok): emu0 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 "Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live" rev 0x08: apic 4 int 20 (irq 3) audio0 at emu0 emu1 at pci5 dev 1 function 0 "Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live" rev 0x0a: apic 4 int 19 (irq 11) audio1 at emu1
