Marco has given some of his software to open source before (Pe), but as far
as I can tell, he still has SoundPlay for sale.
I paid for SoundPlay not so long ago, and received my keyfile from him, so
keep in mind he might still be willing to fix bugs.
" I'm no longer accepting SoundPlay registrations, but you can download a free keyfile here. Copy to /boot/home/config/settings, then restart SoundPlay. " Thats right off his website... but of course it's his choice :) -- Alex


you're probably confusing Marco with Maarten Hekkelman here, who is the
original author of Pe.

No.  Pe was written by Maarten Hekkelman:

Alex, Oliver, Scott, and Ryan,

I stand corrected, on both accounts, and I do so humbly.

I'll now go stand in a corner. :P


To be fair, my purchase of SoundPlay was indeed closer to now, than to 1998, which is the last date listed on that webpage. I'm also pretty sure that I've seen Marco sometimes hang around on IRC. On the other hand, my personal timescale is probably more fuzzy than I realize, given my previous mistake.

Still, in any case, I am pretty sure that Marco has been around during the Haiku "era", so it still might be worth it trying to contact him.


On the other mistake, about confusing Marco and Maarten, now that is unforgivable.

Sorry :(

Cheers,
- Kit
