Hello Dan,

I know the feeling about there not being enough hours in the day. I seem 
to have so many different projects on the go.  I would like to swap some 
of those projects for a full time job though.

I'm currently struggling with pulseaudio on the Pi.  Unfortunately 
pulseaudio suffers very badly from something that blights so many Open 
Source projects; very poor documentation.  It seems to be a common theme 
that pulse is a very powerful and flexible system...if you can get all 
the plates spinning at once.

I have currently got an Arduino on order, although I suspect I won't 
touch that until the audio thing on the Pi is cracked.

Mike
