Ok, I understand that that things will change, sound-wize, with 6.0.7...
What worries me is Macintalk... or the future lack of Macintalk.
I hope/wish that someone who knows could tell me that Apple is releasing a new
"Macin-whatever" that will do the same or better job for 6.0.7 and up systems.
Dream on ? (sigh..)

At the Developer's Conference in May Apple promised a successor to Macintalk. With nifty advanced features, of course, like having the source code to it :-). Reading between the lines of Apple's developer publications (Apple Direct in this case), I get the idea that they had on target a [partial] system release for spring that would include sound and video compression. Viewed in light of the current 7.0 situation, I doubt it'll be out in spring. This new Macintalk would be a logical part of this.
