792417cde97a Some updates and rewordings as well as a much better table design by diego parents: 9043 diff changeset	47 relies on an in-built feature of <EM>properly</EM> coded sound drivers that
792417cde97a Some updates and rewordings as well as a much better table design by diego parents: 9043 diff changeset	48 enable them to maintain correct audio/video sync. Regrettably, some driver
792417cde97a Some updates and rewordings as well as a much better table design by diego parents: 9043 diff changeset	49 authors don't take the care to code this feature since it is not needed for
792417cde97a Some updates and rewordings as well as a much better table design by diego parents: 9043 diff changeset	50 playing MP3s or sound effects. </P>
