As a PS. Can I urge anyone doing any further sound drivers to make them GPL'd so they can be used with Linux and free software but not exploited by USS. The GPL (which Hannu is quite at liberty not to choose for his own stuff) is there to stop exactly these kind of situations. Even if you've provide Hannu with an older driver you (as copyright owner to your driver) are free to release the next version GPL, thus making your later versions protected from exploitation.
