Well, More like more than 13 million total, about 8 mil of which are warp.
But 2.1 is more used for business more than warp is, Warp is used in the
consumer-market more.

IF you are worried about supporting 2.1 though, You could have it check the
version number before going in, if MinorRev is 1 or less, Then use
alternate sound-code, If it's higher than 2 use the Dart code.
