Hi Uğur,

This problem is caused by Lispworks FLI string routines throwing an  
exception when they encounter extended characters (outside US-ASCII).  
The case in point is probably an audio device driver with a localized  
name having some extended characters.

I've encountered this problem before with a Finnish localized driver  
(Bluetooth-ääni). I could patch the synth to remove non-ASCII  
characters from the strings it passes to the core PWGL component, but  
I think a cleaner solution must be possible. Mikael? Mika?

Regards,
Vesa
