Richard is a great sound designer, and an awful musician, if you could call him that. His CDs lack most of the qualities that make music so, like structure and rhythm... it is no wonder he  was dropped by Warp records after his first CD probably sold a few copies. I remember reading an interview with him, where he bragged that just one songs of his first CD  contained thousands of sampled sounds, shame that there are not steady rhythms or anything 99% of most  humans can find appealing there.. who cares how many samples you songs have, when they all suck? There are hundreds of very talented musicians that make real music that people like with only a  fraction of the gear that Mr. Devine has.. which proves the point that when you have real talent, you  don't need thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear.. you need MUSICAL talent, something that  Mr. Devine obviously doesn't have.

For those of us with Creative sound cards on Windows 7 we've been able to configure the .exe's to run in WindowsXP compatibility mode and configure the game to use Creative Alchemy to intercept the DirectSound calls. This doesn't always work though depending upon the game. Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated.   Does FMOD, as you’ve implemented it, support hardware accelerated audio via OpenAL?
