NP, thanks :)

Yes...  The problem here is that they've implemented a interpolation resampling
 algorithm in MMX without a "pure code" equivalent.  So, when I turn off MMX, I
 lose the interpolation.

The SID is so "gritty" anyway that it hardly makes any difference but it is a
shame.

Oh and yes, there is no difference for the MIDI output.  Its just the WAV
output and play-back that's affected.  The MMX code is in the ReSID library,
not in the applications.

BTW, I'm in the process of a code clean-up.  Ian didn't get back to me "today"
so no further progress on the MacOS port.  Hopefully he'll be able to work on
it "tomorrow" (we're in different time zones).
