Hi,

 I checked the script -- it works :)
 But it is to slow (my computer is to slow, I am too fast?)
 I can press twice the number of keys which got "sounded" by
 the script.
 Or is something wrong with the setup of my sound interface?
 My computer is a Athlon XP2 64 (32 bit Gentoo) 3800+, so I
 think, that it is not /that/ slow :)
 Any ideas?
 Best regards,
 mcc
