Flex recently released a bug fix related to sound cards for their 1.x users
even though 1.x is no longer actively getting new updates. This is above and
beyond what software companies normally do. It is akin to Microsoft issuing a
bug fix for Windows 95.
It should also be noted that Flex provides updates to their software free of
charge within the boundaries of each major revision. Thus, version 1.x users
received the bug fix for free. So did users of versions 2.x and 3.x.
