Davy Wentzler
managed to get the via686b onboard audio driver for the AmigaOne XE going, after Steven Brookes discovered what was missing.
Normally, the BIOS/firmware sets up some registers of the VIA that make it work (ACPI), this was missing, so back then it was thought it was a hardware issue.
Only the first batch(es) of A1's actually have the AC'97 chip physically on the board.
Unfortunately, it was taken off later on as Eyetech didn't think it was ever going to work.
Istvan Fellner has released
DvPlayer version 0.49 and WarpView.
WarpView is an image viewer which uses Warp3D to display the images. The advantage of using Warp3D is fast high quality scaling.
WarpView requires AmigaOS4 and a Radeon graphics card. The current version of WarpView has no software clipping, which means it currently doesn't work on graphics cards like Voodoo3 (software clipping will be added in a later version).
WarpView is FREEWARE and avalaible at OS4depot.
DVplayer is a native movie-player for OS4.

APC&TCP announced the worldwide distribution of MED Soundstudio 2.
MED Soundstudio 2 is the official successor of the world famous OctaMED Soundstudio v1.03c and will be released early next year for use on the AmigaOS 4.
However there is also the possibility of 68k and MorphOS versions to follow.
More information about the features and the actual release date of MED Soundstudio 2 will be availableat their website within the next couple of Months.
