Here's an update from my afternoon tests of 5.07 on my WinXP laptop.

For *completely unknown* reasons, OSC has started working today. It's like
the problem never existed: no more WARNINGs or unknown opcode messages at
all. A real mystery.

My setup is this: normal floats 5.07 installer, with csnd.dll and
scoregen.dll removed from /plugins, and msvcr80.dll dropped into /bin.
(Csnd.dll and scoregen.dll were removed in order to eliminate the WARNING
messages.)

I've also managed to get sound, using Trappedrt.csd - *but only by selecting
MME drivers* - in csoundGUI. (I also get sound from the command line
specifying a CsOption = -+rtaudio=mme.) No sound otherwise, whether from
PortAudio, pa_cb or pa_bl, the other options that csoundGUI offers.

Furthermore, MME gives sound whether or not msvcr80.dll is present in /bin.

There you have it. What can you make of all this?
