I've been thinking about picking up a SoundBlaster card, and in
looking through the newsgroups for info about it, I've
noticed a couple posts making reference to a Sound Master card,
but haven't been able to find any detailed description of it.
I haven't seen this in stores or ads yet, so I assume it's a
new card.  Is it a replacement for the SoundBlaster?  What
more does it do, and should I wait for it?

I'm mainly interested in the SB for games (Wing Commander for
starters), and for playing around with sound sampling and voice
synthesis; I don't expect to be getting into MIDI in any serious way.
Are there other boards I should be considering, as well?

I also don't want to pay much more than the current street price
around here (around US$145), so if the Sound Master costs much more than
that, I might as well pick up the Blaster.

Any info appreciated,
