Hi, Sorry for the delay, but I didn't have a really good answer. But I guess anything is better than nothing.

Though I can recompile it as-is if you want to play with it. Also, you may? be able to get latest Judas Player 2.10c to work with newer sound cards (.WAV), so you may not need the lousy PC speaker. > Unfortunately, I don't know C++ nor Assembly enough to make this work > myself, so I'm asking this more as an user than as a developer, also > because I would benefit from it as a blind user.

The reason I wrote that post at all in the aforementioned thread was to respond to Travis' pre-existing efforts (which I'm not involved in). He seems to be the expert in that area, but apparently he's not responded here yet. Sadly, we're just too low on volunteers, as usual, so expect no miracles.
