[CLAM] SMSTools / Network Editor - crashes

[Jay LeBoeuf]

Hi Maarten & Pau,

I swapped in a SoundBlaster Live card, hoping for better results.
I *can* play audio via SMSTools using this card.

Unfortunately, the Network Editor still hangs whenever I try to start the
network.
Again, looking at the ./AudioApplicationExample, I see something a little
different :

    [ets at localhost AudioApplication]$ ./AudioApplicationExample
    Press enter to terminate
    Scheduler set to Round Robin with priority 98...

    Press enter to terminate
    Scheduler set to Round Robin with priority 98...
    CLAM Error: Streams link error: Invalid argument

    Abnormal Program Termination
    [ets at localhost AudioApplication]$

Thanks again for the assistance...
-Jay
