Sound Blaster 16 in VMware

EmuandCo with some help from a couple of devs has managed to get sound working (it has previously, but its more stable now, not much though) for the sb16 in VMware. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the wiki page and it _should_ work.

I managed to test Winamp v1.92-sp1 and v2.95rc, but only v1.92-sp1 seemed to output any sound. I would suggest testing using other audio applications as Winamp has a rather annoying bug where you cant click on the main window at all.

Happy New Year!

Its that time of year again, time to wind down after a massive week of holidays and get back to work. Frik's already at it and has updated the Official ReactOS website wishing everyone a Happy New Year along with some interesting stats for last year.

The following facts came from the SVN server (thanks to Casper Hornstrup):

• The core ReactOS code base is now 120MB large.
• The repository is currently 624MB large and contains ~20500 revisions.
• ~8000 of these revisions were created in 2005.
• This mean 39% of the total number of revisions created during ReactOS' entire 8 year history was created in 2005!

ReactOS Website facts:

• The ReactOS website is available in 8 different languages.
• This means 1296 static (x)html pages and several server side scripts.
