Standalone Core Audio Driver OSX Lion

[DGmachine]

hi,

I'll admit to failing in trying to learn Pro Tools 8 - as I'm an off and on recording person. It's my kids' fault... anyway... I now try to use Logic.

I have an MBOX2, Aluminium iMac mid 2009 and OSX Snow Leopard, running the Standalone Digidesign CoreAudio Drivers v8.0.3 for Leopard and Snow Leopard.

I have found the MBOX2/ core audio does a weird thing where it repeats noises (like an echo/loop of, for example, the 'you have new mail' sound)
and seems to crash all the time.
Going into Audio Midi setup and changing the Sample rate from 48 to 44.1 or in reverse then seems to 'reset' the MBOX2 - and it works until the next Sleep. Then it misbehaves again.

My question is: I want to upgrade to Lion, and I want to know whether there is going to be a Standalone CoreAudio driver for Lion for the MBOX2.
There is some twitter talk about Lion not being able to connect to the MBOX2 at all.

I am hoping that Lion and a new Standalone CoreAudio driver will fix all of my problems.

thanks
