So i guess that those bugfixes will make it into the next alsa-driver
release at least.

I'll have to stay some time away from further Aureal Vortex development,
because i have to finish my Electronic Ing.  Thesis, and i'm somwhat
overdue with that.
But if necessary, i'll will be willing to continue to receive any bug
reports as usual.

Some things i would like to pursue once i get the time are:

- Support 4.0 and 5.1 multispeaker audio streams using HRTF to downmix
those multiple channels to headphones. I suspect that such a thing could
even sound better than actually having 6 speakers.

- Get the WT engine working.

- Finally, implement the OpenAL ALSA bindings about which i have been
talking so much, but have not done anything beyond its design.

Best Regards

Manuel
