1. support for tv out cards?
Not specifically, but if your DOS video driver works with other software, DOSCab v3.0 beta should work fine.  You'll probably have to run it in a lower resolution to get it to work.  Version 2.41 will probably not work.

2.volume control keys?
Not yet; they'll be in 3.0 beta 5.

You can select x number of credits per coin individually for up to 4 coin slots, and each coin slot can have any number of keys mapped to it.  There is no way to require more than 1 coin for a particular number of credits.

4. clear selection key?
Yes.

I've looked at it.  The lyrics are available to me through ID3v2, but I haven't thought of a graceful way to do it.  I've also been looking at supporting MIDI files with lyrics as kareoke files. This item is a lower priority; my first priority is fixing the random crash bug and finishing the CD support.  The next priority after that is some sort of filtering and more sorting options to deal with large collections and changing skins on the fly (so you could either flip the display on a cocktail, or flip back and forth between CD and singles mode).

Right now I can't do anything until I rebuild my machine after the hard drive crash.  I did make a tape backup of the source on Oct. 8, and I believe I backed up the changes since then to my flash drive, so the only changes lost in the crash were the latest attempts to fix the touchscreen problems, and I think I can recreate those without too much trouble.  But I'm probably a wek away from having a working development environment again.
