    ...

    But doesn't that approach also make it nearly impossible to script ????

    Having to hack source for any apps that one wants to use it on
    sounds rather barbaric..

    (sure I *can* still script it, with background tasksand wait and ..
    but that's getting rather complex again).

    Meanwhile.. I'll now cook up a module to try the set/remove_acceptable_latency thing.

    Thanks
