OPINION ON REHEARING
The State has filed a motion for rehearing requesting that we reform our opinion and declare that TEX.R.CRIM.EVID. 901 which became effective on September 1, 1986, has supplanted the previously existing seven-point rule for testing the admissibility of sound recordings as enunciated in Edwards v. State, 551 S.W.2d 731, 733 (Tex.Crim.App.1977). This we decline to do because rule 9011 applies only to authenticity or identity, whereas “establishment of the authenticity and correctness of the recording” is only one of the Edwards requirements for admissibility of recordings.
Rehearing is denied.

. Rule 901 Requirement of Authentication or Identification
(a) General provision. The requirement of authentication or identification as a condition precedent to admissibility is satisfied by evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent claims.
