support for software synths.

[Alex Snow]

If you want tuxtalk, wich I don't know why you would unless you're a
programmer, you got to get it out of CVS with the command:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at linux-speakup.org:/usr/src/CVS login
Password: please
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at linux-speakup.org:/usr/src/CVS checkout tuxtalk
It's also on the speakup site.hth
