Hi Robin,

Excellent work on this Hercules stuff. A lot of users are going to
appreciate this.

Since we don't really have a cue or loop function that deserves and LED,
Adam made those three LEDs act as a VU meter on each side for the Herc

It looks cool and I can't think of a better use for them. :)

Another thing - are you planning on pushing this patch upstream to the
kernel.org tree? We should get rolling on this ASAP so we have a shot at
getting it in the Ubuntu 8.04 kernel.  

Thanks,
Albert
