Yes, I didn't vote either, for similar reasons. I would have liked to, but I've not had much free time lately as I was roped into designing levels for Mole Miner and hadn't realised at first just how little time I was being given to get them done in.

That's why I said "use the frequencies"... surely with a lookup table of the frequency values in some unit one could encode that by hand?
