Yes, full duplex is nice.  AFAIK, right now the only full duplex card
with support for full duplex in its driver is the GUS.  The WSS driver
could easily support it, but it's broken.  Soundblaster 16 and 32AWE
support full duplex, but the sb driver doesn't support that yet.

I haven't had the time (nor the will) to work on audio drivers
lately.
