   Right. Unfortunately, I lost my net connection (including access to
   my CVS server) for over a week when Rydnet was officially closed
   down, after more than five years of operation. As a side note, I
   joined in November 1994, I think, and the A4000 I connected back
   then is still the only computer I have at home (not counting the
   C-64 and C-128D). Funny how time flies, isn't it? <grin>
   
   Anyway, enough of this drivel. Here is the source code you've all
   been waiting for, and here are some binaries, in case you don't
   feel like feeding me with patches.
   
   The anti-click settings can be adjusted from the preferences
   program, or by the developer by using AHIA_AntiClickSamples in
   AHI_AllocAudioA() and by using the AHISB_NODELAY bit.
   
    Current status
    
     * All hifi mixing routines for the PowerPC are there.
     * None of the hifi mixing routines for the m68k are there yet.
     * Assembler echo and master volume is missing.
     * Non-hifi mixing routines in C are included. They're not
       supposed to be used for spead reasons, but to get that groovy
       Paula feeling (bribes do work, Jan!). Unfortunately, echo is
       missing in non-hifi modes, but that will be added soon.
     * Still no WarpUp support. I seem to have broken the ELF loader I
       got from Frank Wille. I'm investigating, but patches are
       welcome.
     * The packaging is not finished yet. This includes installer
       script, updated documentation, proper source archive that
       includes the drivers and a prober developer archive with header
       files et cetera.
     * I need to update the BGUI and ClassAct preferences programs to
       support the global anti-click settings. Or even better, ditch
       them all for a OS 3.5 version. We'll see.
       
   That's it. As soon as the problems above are fixed, and I have
   added a none mixing mode (for streaming applications like mp3
   players), I'll bump the version number to 5 and release it
   officially.
   
   Let me know if you want access to the CVS server.
   
   Flame on!
