Not really what I was looking for. Your complaint about taking time is
true, just spent the last week+ working on some design documents for
work myself. But the point is that once these UML designs are in place
(not necessarily all the way done to function parameter level) somewhere
else can come clean to the project, pick the design up get a good idea
of how things are supposed to gel together and start working. The
problem with lots of 1 man projects (I'm just as guilty here I've done
very little design work for my other project dvbstreamer) is that all
the ideas are in the head, which makes it difficult to help :-).

Some simple collaboration diagrams show how the different services of freevo 
are supposed to work together would be useful.
