    I have the source RPM installed and running now, on a Mdk 8.1 distro,
    KDE desktop, and it appears to be working very nicely.

    Initially, gMSFK complained about read errors from the sound device. I
    tried re-assigning DMA channels from the BIOS, and updating the OSS
    module accordingly, but it went from read errors to write errors to a full
    system freeze :-(

    The fix was to ditch OSS for the ALSA drivers, and all is well now. I am
    using a Toshiba laptop and the Yamaha sound system has always been a
    bit tricky to get going.

    Anyway, the KDE sound server does a pretty good job of sharing the
    sound system between apps, I am going to try to record a sound bite of
    transmitted audio into a file, and re-play it, to see what the transmitted
    spectrum looks like. I am really intrigued by the MFSK, which sounds like
    a mix between a flute and bag-pipes on fast-forward.

    A question: I would like to extract PTT from a USB serial adapter, but the
    device file for it doesn't show up in the pick list of gMFSK. Can I safely
    add a symlink to the USB device file and call it, say /dev/ttyS99?
