Too bad that one of the big companies didn't make a driver for this in 97 when this was starting out, and at least supported all cards! i guess nobody really thought of this until Installing ac '97 over SB was cheaper and not many cared for dos :( but i guess if the driver goes as planned, you can take your Vista PC and play Crysys and Duke Nukem on the same system. (one runs at 60 fps the other at 6,000 fps :P *even thought my 1.9ghz Celeron Processor (2002) runs all games at a stable rate similar to my dead Pentium Pro :(

i have a lot of learning to do :(

What do you mean by Runtime? because what mpxplay has is an audio thing based on ALSA, i think, Using an audio card Header and static linkable library.
