Audio Enhancements

* Addresses a potential issue in which sound from some USB audio devices may "stutter" after waking from sleep.
* Addresses an issue in which iSub, when used with some third-party USB speakers, could produce static.
* Improves default reverb setting for applications which use QuickTime Musical Instruments.
* Addresses an issue in which audio recorded from a USB device with a sample rate of 48k or 96k may include distortion.
* Improves results when recording from a USB microphone with a sample rate of 11.025k or 22.050k.
* Addresses an issue in which a MIDI device may unexpectedly fail to be recognized, when several devices are connected.
* Refines MIDI device support by removing compatibility for MIDI devices that are connected via a serial port (which Apple has not shipped with machines for several years).

I didn't get the "removing compatibility for MIDI devices that are connected via a serial port", does it mean third party devs will NOT be able to build drivers, or the such? I mean, from a developper point of view, did Apple put something in the kernel/servers that locks the CoreMIDI to NOT communicate with old serial/printer ports?

RIP to my good old MOTU Express XT... Which works even under windows, BTW...

Anyway, the french 10.2.3 update is causing a minor problem over here (ie in France ;-) : i-tunes update (3.0.1) is still here after an upgrade, even if installing it over, and over again. What about you UK & US folks?

Bye.
