Hi all,

While translating chap-audio.sgml of the Short Guide I noticed some parag=
raphs =20
wich are, in my humble opinion;), not entirely correct. Should I send dif=
fs=20
to this mailinglist, Frederico Lupi, www@ or using send-pr? For this time=
=20
I'll post them here...

With kind regards,
Daniel de Kok
