yep. as I said I am fine with 10e-6 or whatever seconds too, just don't expect 
an effect engine supporting variable bitrate, variable framerate, embeded 
flash and .NET content soon. Leave something for version 2.0. 
We'll not get it perfectly right in the first try. That's ok. Especially the 
file format and the comunication protokoll will be subject to change as we 
undersand better what we do.
Let's try and get a nice simple application working, then extend it. That way 
we'll get some publicity and attract other programmers. I just would not wast 
too much time thinking about ultra advanced features too soon or we'll loose 
focus.

Cheers,
Rolf
