I have had pretty good luck with vsound as long as I remember to use the -t switch which improves the timing. If you use the -d option it will play it as well as capture it, which of course takes real time, but omitting the -d option and it goes about 8 or 10 times faster than real time on this system. On a slow dialup connection there will sometimes be noise generated when buffering fails. But if the connection is fast enough to keep the buffer filled, vsound works quite well for me. If there are any alternatives I would sure like to know about them too. -- The Moon is Waning Gibbous (54% of Full) So visit me sometime at http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh
