The reason why the development is so slow, is that our main programmer 
(err, thats me) is in the army.

However, fear not, the solution is here! :) Just a while ago, a new 
device-independent-audio system called AHI was released, as public beta. 
You can find it in aminet, dev/mis/ahi.lha. Note that we have nothing to 
do with AHI, it's made by Martin Blom <lcs@lysator.liu.se>.

I wrote an AHI driver for Delfina. It is finished, working and available
for ftp at the Delfina support site spot.lnet.lut.fi:/pub/amiga/sfx/delfina/.

I decided to cancel delfaudio.library; AHI does have all the same 
features (multichannel playback & recording). The current driver uses the 
AHI mixing routines, ie. Delfina is not utilized in its full potential.. 
However, now it's easy to update the driver later, all AHI products will 
support it immediately.

Currently, the only missing things are the parallel and serial port 
support files. They were at very low priority earlier, my main concern 
was to get the multichannel support..

Also, you might consider the fact that there are audio boards like 
Toccata and Sunrize that don't have multichannel support at all.. :)
