[WriteLog] Writelog and Dell's AC '97 codec

[WA9ALS - John]

The Dell Precision Workstation 330 specs state that it has "Integrated AC'97
Full-Duplex Audio".  If you go to
http://www.esstech.com/products/audio/Prod_Briefs/pb1921_022001.pdf
and read about the AC '97 codec, you will find that it's supposed to have
full-duplex stereo operation for simultaneous record and playback.  However,
NZ3O reported a score of only 61 with the WL soundchecker, and the report
specifically said:

"automatic routing of two radio audio not supported. Automatic routing of
mic thru soundcard not supported. No support for simultaneous play and
record. It will support WinRTTY on two radios"  (See
http://www.qsl.net/wa9als/sound_results.htm)

Bizarro?!  73
