Change log message:

Version 0.83 -- 8/11/02

 [1] Low-latency audio
 output and input now
 supported for Mac OS X
 using CoreAudio. 
 Developed on a TiBook
 under 10.1.5; please
 send reports for other
 platforms. Thanks to
 coreaudio-api and
 darwin mailing list
 members for extensive
 API help.

 [2] Compile-time
 warnings under 
 Visual C++ fixed.
 Thanks to Kees van
 Prooijen.

---

This release is the first step towards
making OS X a primary release platform
for sfront, alongside Linux -- expect
to see CoreMIDI and AudioUnits drivers
in future releases.

The cpuload standard name works, and
the latency is tunable via sfront's
-latency option. The driver handles 
VM page warmups, and if the sa.c 
executable is run as root, the driver
locks pages into RAM if there is 
enough free memory. Check out the
rtime/aatest, rtime/ascii, and 
rtime/linain examples to check out
the CoreAudio driver, and let me
know it works on your Mac.
