<sigh>.  I need another 48 hours in each day.

The basic idea of Breakaway Mode is to be able to put a stream of audio 
*through* each cart slot (this is why each slot has an *input* assignment).  
When in Breakaway Mode, the slot simply passes this audio through to the 
output, until an 'Execute Breakaway' ['DX'] RML is received.  This causes the 
input to be muted and a piece of cover audio (as defined in 
RDAdmin->ManageServices->ConfigureAutofillCarts for the relevant service) 
played instead, chosen on the basis of 'best fit' for the duration specified in 
the RML.  At the end of the cover audio, audio from the input is restored.

That's the view from 10,000 M, but will hopefully get you started.  And yes, I 
still do intend to add an RDCartSlots chapter to the ROG.  :)

Cheers!
