Commenting that out will not cause any problems (yet), as I don't know of
any applications that use the site id yet. Eventually it will likely be
used for
associating video streams and audio streams with a site, at which time
commenting that out would cause a problem.

I have a new machine with the latest drivers for an onboard Realtek card and after a period of time RAT becomes unresponsive. Changing venues causes it to become responsive again. Of course it's been running for two hours now without hanging. Has anyone found a solution other than adding another sound card? Or does anyone know of an affordable PCI-X sound card?
