Hello Sridhar!
I have no problem with any app if it does not try to talk to the hardware directly. For
example Toast, USB Overdrive, Drive Formatters, every driver for special hardware.
But you can get problems with some apps if the mol audio device it not selected. I had
problems with Palm Desktop (quits immediately) some others got stuck at startup. But those
symptoms are all gone when I select the mol audio device in Sound control panel.
So for me mol is 99% stable!
Bye,
Christoph
