Mine crashes pretty regular and no audio in any format. I liked that
one that said 'almost 1.0' . Mine has been broken for almost two months
and 9.5 never has worked.... they ain't ready for 9.6 if ya ask me; need
to get what they have, going before moving on, and I don't think they
are.... starting to think the Linux versions are gonna get left behind.
