I think this was all resolved most amicably on IRC just now.
So anyone interested can read the IRC log.

Yes, honesty dictates that I say the reason I did it that way was because I
never believed my Audio code would be accepted after all the malarky with
it a few months back - long before the nomenclature issue existed.

We are in absolute agreement.

As I mentioned on IRC I would also happily help with all these points, I
just wanna do cool programming stuff, I don't really care about the
direction too much. But, as none of my code can be included in Rockbox, I
can only offer you moral support and keep pushing the REALLY EASY TO USE
(lol) windows dev kit on my site in the hope of attracting new programmers.

Your wait is over ...it ain't gonna happen - I offered my metaphorical hand
in friendship, you metaphorically accepted it ...nothing else is relevant
[to me]

Peace,
