Hello!

I have only just got back from a holiday, otherwise I would have joined
this list earlier - many thanks to jpff for setting it up.

I am working on the Sphinx card under the auspices of the Composers
Desktop Project, with a view to developing and promoting the system as a
powerful soundcard and/or audio accelerator - for example, to drive
advanced DirectShow (nee ActiveMovie) plugins, and to support work with
multi-channel files (quad, 6-channel).  Accordingly, I am especially
keen to see progress on system issues - the drivers, the APIs, etc,  to
support the development of new GUI applications. I am using Windows95
and VC++ V.5, so I am working exclusively with the 32bit driver
csound.vxd. I will be especially interested to know of, and hear from,
other developers working on this aspect of the system.

As I want to implement some CDP algorithms  on the card, the issues
surrounding the creation of new opcodes are very important; I am hoping
that the new release will include some XCS-specific header files, for
example.
