I felt like listening to my GUS on a better set of speakers than the walkman
speakers I normally use, so I've got in on a pair on Infinity RefEL's with
a Sony amp.  Things are improved, a lot, holy cow, wow, much better.

Anyway...

With this setup, the notorious Gravis UltraClick (TM) made it's habbit of
clicking all too audible, but only on some things.  Hmm, I thought, why not
all the time?
It clicked on .MOD files, .669 files, and in Star Control 2.  It _DIDN'T_
click with Midi files or anything in SB emulation.  Thus, my theory...
I'd be willing to bet that there are 2 calls that can be made to the
Ultrasound to have it produce sound (I'll call them PlayPatch and PlayDigi).
It seems that everything that uses PlayDigi (the .SND files, GUSMOD, etc)
will click.  On the other hand, PlayPatch driven things (PLAYMIDI, SBOS)
won't (SBOS does use patches, type SBOS -debug if you don't believe me). 
Anyone care to shed some light on this?  If I'm right (I hope I am)
then it should be a fairly simple patch to eliminate clicking all together.
It's also possible that there's an attribute to the Gravis supplied patch
files that resist the clicking of other, less refined, patches.

Josh, when do we get the Renaissance (SP?) GUS developer's kit?   :)

All the best,
  Jim
