I've written the Soundscape Driver and use it every day, even with the most 
recent versions of GCC and Allegro WIP. I cannot say, that I have any 
problems with, for me it works!

the source parts from the original resources. Then strange things may happen, 
but the driver is now working for a long time without problems.
