@TheAmigo; Can you comment out the audio_init() call in ttsd?

Sure. I've got family in town for Thanksgiving so I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to spend working on this. I've made the change so it will be in the next release. I've got a few other things I want to finish up before the next release, so I'm not sure when it will be.

Not sure I followed the rest of the thread, but when you guys come up with a final design, I'll be ready to make whatever changes are needed then.
