And it also has weird behaviour if you have sound taps in weird places, e.g. the ones in port replicators for the T4x series. They are not under control of the thinkpad mixer, but they are under full control of the AC97 mixer. As Richard just said, it *really* is a separate device, and we shall export it as such. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
