Re: Multiple PCM files

["Nick French" <nick@greensignal.com>]

Ok set the option ( you guessed it Outlook Express ) to text only. Sorry
don't have a go at me as it is the default setting I believe.

Option 1 or 2 would be what I am looking at. What I have is a program with
multiple threads needing to play PCM streams to the same device.

Thanks and sorry for the HTML.

Cheers

Nick
