All we need now is for ttimo to fold these patches into the original source. And release a new point release edition for quake3, et and rtcw.
So that we can play without oss emulation.

If you get this…er…you need nasm!
Using Yum (Fedora Core and a few others); issue the command “yum install nasm” in a shell as root.
Using Apt (most distributions); issue the command “apt-get install nasm”.
