Well, I wrote it and it certainly got past the alpha phase :->

It works fine, it could be better - if soemone reliably hacked the DC's G2 DMA 
- but will play MP3s without any problem.

I offered to assist someone/anyone on this list write a netbsd driver but was

"The dreamcast project itself was necessarily finite. Once the machine
support was written, what more were you expecting?"
