+In 2019, a Kickstarter campaign was run to raise funds to pay Mark
+McCurry to overhaul the audio subsystem in the curses port of Frotz.
+I've tried off and on since 2013 to do this, but there was always a
+problem with mixing two audio streams and excessive CPU usage. Mark is
+much better at this kind of programming and is well-known for working on
+some very good audio-related projects. However, he would not do the
+work for free. Therefore I started a Kickstarter campaign to pay him.
+
+The audio subsystem now reads and processes audio data through
+libsndfile, libmodplug, libsamplerate, libvorbis, and a few other
+libraries brought in as dependencies. Output is throgh the libao
+library, which automatically takes care of the messiness of figuring out
+exactly how to talk to the audio hardware.
+
+A total of $1,078.00 was raised in 30 days. After taxes, fees,
+backed-out pledges were subtracted, the total sum was $878.60.
+
+The following people contributed $100:
+Dan Sanderson
+Daniel Sharpe
+Justin de Vesine
+Simon Martin
