Actually, it should work, but...

What if our friendly other music makers fail to use the audio.device, but use
their own (usually nasty) code. One thing at least I know you cannot do is
read from the address in memory where the sound is sent to, for some cheeky
reason it is write-only (cos it's not memory, but the sound chip, but still
VUMeters would be so much easier if you could read from it :).

About opening devices: I tried to kill the input-device (which worked!) and
then start a new one (which did not work, and so left me with a computer
without input :). It seems to be pretty hard to properly open a device, but
maybe the audio-device is different, and easy :)
