There is always the Solaris source code that we could clean-room, plus I
think sparclinux might support it.
:)I will contribute $100 to the beer bounty fund, though; I want 24-bit

Wow! Cool! Only a couple more people willing to contribute that much and
we might just hire a Wasabi programmer (of course it'd also be good PR for
them too).
Then, once we get audio and MP, an SS20 running NetBSD would be a
phenomenal platform (wishful thinking, I know).
:)One avenue to pursue: the SS20 is almost certainly EOL now
Anyone with contacts at Sun hanging around here?
