Re: Tracker SPU

Michael,

I've checked in your new tracker SPU.  Sorry for the delay.  I've been =

focused on other projects and your email was way at the bottom of my inbox.

Comments follow...

Checked in.  Though, the patch didn't apply cleanly to CVS head so you =

should get the latest code from CVS and check that it's OK.

Also, could you please add some documentation?  In particular, the =

cr/doc/configoptions.html file should list all the config files for the SPU.

It looks like patches 4 and 5 add demo programs in the spu/tracker/ =

directory.  That's probably not the best place.  All the deme programs =

go under the progs/ directory.  Could you redo your patches?

Perhaps you could add that info to the Cr docs.
