Hmm, this makes me curious... Now that the Karma code has evolved so much, about how similar would you say the empeg player code and the Karma code is? If the main code trunk continues to advance without back-ports to the empeg, doesn't opening up at least portions of the player source code to hungry empeg developers become a legitimate topic?
The v3 alphas are released from the main trunk -- that's why they're so wonky in places! I'd guess they share more than 90% of the code with Karma. And probably 70-80% with v2 final still.
