As you probably noticed (or not), (3) and (4) didn't make it for the 4th june. 
I got buried under work-work and couldn't make it. That said thanks to Jeff 
Mitchell, the PortableMediaPlayer changes are in, remains to adapt AudioHw 
and Camera to be consistent.

My new target date for all this is 11th june.

Regards.
