Yeah that was always the intent once things stabilized a bit but that
hasn't happened yet thanks to changing equipment, flaky software (i.e. fw
dying / needing human fixing), software updates, and boxes breaking :(
Still, we can probably do better.

It would be nice with some more reliable equipment - James any progress on
the grant!??!?!?!

Ah this may have been caused by having the USB headset plugged in at boot?
Unfortunately it seems to bump the onboard USB audio...

I don't think the setup process etc... has been updated since I last
touched it. I think that's the place to start and then we can look at ways
to automate bits. http://www.plug.org.au/projects/video/setupprocedure
