 Yes, I overwrote it as thoroughly as I overwrote my old sig. I
thought that I was being a bit hypocritical by not being part of those
on the forefront getting cut by the bleeding edge stuff.

In all fairness though, I did not expect such a large regression in
audio performance. I am not pissed however, as a friend of mine is
having tremendous success with Pulseaudio,  and it seems that both mac
and windows now have pulseaudio like functionality.
