Subject: Re: Try this (remote support)

Re: Try this (remote support)

Did anyone with commit access get a chance to look at this?

Can I be of any help testing it (i have IHP140) and confirming that it
doesnt break anything else?

Im guessing that the people with commit access will want to look at
the actual code changes, rather than the changed functionaility... i
dont know the rockbox source well enough to do that sadly :(

Im suprised that more people are not interested in this patch
