The idea is to drop the ones that aren't being used and/or we can't test.  If 
we dropped one in error, we can recover it.

The audio stuff seems particularly ugly.  I don't know if that's just because 
I/we don't understand that area and/or if POSIX didn't get it right and/or if 
OSes don't implement POSIX audio.


Are there any good non-GPS options these days?  In this context, "good" is a 
bit hard to pin down.  My straw man is either something in production or 
something like a TBolt or Z38xx that is available surplus at hobbyist prices.


A reasonable candidate for a low cost WWV receiver would be one of the USB 
receiver modules.  I think they are targeted at TV but they cover a wide 
input frequency range.  I think the SDR projects are using them.  If anybody 
has experience with them in a non-Windows environment please poke me off 
list.  A friend gave me one, but I got distracted before I got it working.
