Installed 1.3.9.11 2 days ago.
Works great. Direct mode works ! (it didn't work with 1.3.9.10 with my firewire interface with bridgeCo bebo chip).
One thing strange : since I installed 1.3.9.11 , direct mode works too with 1.3.9.10 version.
....
About the listening, I don't find much differences between these 2 versions. Perhaps I reached the soundcard limitations.
Perhaps just a very little more liveness on 1.3.9.10, but before I install 1.3.9.11
