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.
