Hi Allan: The whole point of this thread is that Kevin wasn't asking anything, he was telling us something. Exactly what he was telling us was far from clear, as it was ajumble of ALSA, Windows, Linux, JFW and who knows what. And it was written in such a way that it's not even clear what he was trying to say, so we don't even know if he's even got half a clue. Geoff.
