I wanted to let people know that there is a lot of new code in this particular
update that needs testing.  The nice thing is that quake3 should now play with
this sound driver so the testing can at least be a little bit of fun ;-) 
Basically, all the stuff that used to work still should, mmap audio should now
work, and you should not have to specify any ftsodell=1 options to the driver
any more and it shouldn't sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks when you don't. 
If anyone finds problems with this driver, please let me know.  I tested what
I could, but I'm sure there are things I possibly missed.  Oh, one more thing,
when playing mp3's via xmms and using the oss output module, the number of
interrupts the system has to service is down by about 100 per second or more,
so it should be slightly lighter on system CPU time as well.
