VoxWare Sound Driver:3.0.1-950812 (Sat Sep 14 11:53:30 EDT 1996 root,
Linux persist 1.2.13 #10 Sat Sep 14 02:33:49 EDT 1996 i486)
Config options: 350002

Installed drivers: 
Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM
Type 2: SoundBlaster

Granted, I have 3.0.1 - but I would think the 2.0 beta 4 would have a 
similar message.  Everything else sounds right.  You may want to give 
3.0.1 a try.  Search for VoxWare or USS (Unix Sound System is it's new name).

Dogbert: Has your electronic mail system made you more efficient?
Dilbert: In a way... Now I'm getting ignored at the speed of light.
