I confess I had not tried the beta. I just downloaded it and installed
it to my laptop here at work, and it appears that they have resolved
that issue (everything else seems more polished as well). I can't test
it though, because I only have the one sound interface. I'll try it on
my desktop (with two sound cards) when I get home.
