Oh, please share.  :-)

While I'm at it, here (and seeing how a one line message is pretty
boring), I've a question about the 3D routines.  Using the
UltraAngPos3D routines, I can get sound in the full 3D soundfield,
but calculating the angular values is somewhat a pain.  (Hey, I'm
lazy).  I want to use UltraAbsPos3D, but I can't seem to get
anything to the back.  (I'm using negative Z values, but it sounds
like it's just moving back to the front.  UltraAngPos3D definitely
works, so it's not just a problem of not being able to "hear" it)
Any ideas?
