No, I am just an observer like everyone else. OS/2 Netscape is not part of
the normal loop. The team does the work and turns it over to IBM. Where that
chain is broken, I have no idea.

That is strange since you replaced everything that generates the sound. You
would'nt be running the Staroffice beta would you. I vaguely remember that
it breaks a few things. I don't know is sound was one of them, the readme
gave some cautions.
