[PD] Problem with Commercial OSS and PD

[Timothy Rolls]

Well, I guess that explains it. But I am curious about the legitimacy of
their claim that it is 100% compatible with OSS/Free
(http://www.opensound.com/linux.html). I am still glad I got it. The audio
quality on my SB PCI 128 is greatly improved. Thanks for the reply.

Regards,
Tim
