Then why don't you just _run_ Linux ;-) ? I have a small Linux partition on
my machine for occasions like these. The VoxWare drivers are of a kind that
you don't want them in NetBSD; they use static data structures and thus
support only one card of any type, they duplicate some functionality in
multiple drivers and last but not least require auto-dma, which NetBSD
doesn't support yet.
