Yeah, I knew about that one although last time I tried a lot of the properties 
seemed to be read only.

Now this one is real handy one I didn't know about it.

That's more or less what I want to do. Just a few variables every second or so 
to see if the trainee is obeying instructions.   :)

Yeah but I'm not sure nasal would be the solution at that sort of speed 
either.

My biggest concerns are :
1. Sound mixing from two separate apps (not a real problem in Windows since it 
does software mixing by default but more of a problem for the *nix guys)
2. The user having to download and install the Python or Perl libraries 
separately. Maybe a separate C++ app would be a better idea.
3. Modifying fgrun to make things launch together.
