What happened to Null's plugin?

What happened to Null's plugin with the 1.3x release?

It's been stellar for Chrono Chross in the 1.2x release, but all of the 1.3x versions don't work for me at all -- tons of crappy, scratchy sound in MDEC's. It's absolutely unplayable on Chrono Chross for me.

Changing buffers and blocks hasn't helped. VAG stream is enabled, and I've played with other settings as well.

I'm using a SBLive! Value, so I must not be the only one suffering from this problem. The machine is a K6-III 400 with 128 MB RAM, Voodoo3 2000, and Win98.

Pete's just doesn't cut it on my config for Chrono Cross. Maybe it is just very resource-demanding, but I have a feeling that without specific VAG-stream enabling, the MDEC's would be jerky anyway.

ah, ya that could be why

I recall trying 1.32, 1.34, and 1.35 with the same results. Perhaps it is a resource issue -- SanDRocK, what are the specs of your machine?

Hey guys

The choppy sound in mdecs happens w/ null 1.35 too...

A new thought:

I notice that in my plugin directory, I have both a "spunull.dll" file AND a "spunull2mixer.dll" file, although the latter downloads I recall only included the latter. Is the plain old "spunull.dll" a relic from an old driver?
