i like this 'muted' thing, even though i have to enable the few (two)
channels i mainly use with a script, but with DOS/Win95 drivers i have to
_DISABLE_ the rest of the channels.. 5 or 6.. so this is a smaller thing
to do when i want to get an optimum sound out.. (and i like this sound i
get with linux better than the on with the M$ stuff...


           SPEED KILLS!!! Get Windows95, just to be safe!
