UNIAUD32 ReSync 1.0.1 (from http://www.os2news.com)
From: Mark Dodel < feedbackDESPAM@DESPAMos2voice.org >

'the Universal Audio Driver for eCS and OS/2.'

There are a number of experimental builds of the UniAud driver on the
Netlabs FTP server. The latest update is a resync with ALSA 1.0.1
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/experimental/Uni32ReSync-1.0.1.zip You
must already have a previous version of UniAud installed as this package
only includes the uniaud32.sys driver.

Note that the readme.txt includes the following warning:

'These 1.2.0 beta ('ReSync') prereleases should be treated with the caution
due to any experimental/unstable software. They should not be used on a
production system without proper system backups. Always keep a bootable CD
handy for reverting to a more stable release of Uniaud32.sys in case this
one should trap.'

Also the following about these resync builds:

'The purpose of publicly releasing these builds is to get more attention and
testing of the ReSync effort, and is not expected at this point to provide
any benefit over the 1.1.x releases. Generally, we are only interested in
reports of the ReSync series working differently from the 1.1.x series. If
there is a problem which exists in both versions, follow the normal procedure
of opening a ticket on Trac as if only the 1.1.x build had been tested. It is
not necessary to discuss the ReSync builds in such a case.'

More information on the UniAud project, including an FAQ, can be found at
