Sincere thank you's for all your hard work- I've found these devices to be wonderful time savers for the kind of stuff that I do on a regular basis.

In reading through the manual and other docs, I found a couple of minor items-

1.  There are two of more references to the PIC32 in the Manual.  Do a search.  Not a big deal but a small confusion.

2. The explanation of how sound works in the background is somewhat confusing.
Page 32-
Play Tone 500,500,2000
End
It makes some sense that this doesn't work.  You then add the pauses- this I guess is still "non blocking" or is it?

You go on to say just below that this applies to PLAY WAV as well.
I would think that you'd use the interrupt in the original invocation to jump some where when that sound completed and the next should start.  I'm going to play with this a bit tonight but I'm not sure its crystal clear what is going on.

3. I'm dying to play with the PIO stuff.  I've played with this in the Python version and got it do some things.  I'm an old assembly programmer so this really dear to me.  I'll do some testing on the PIO stuff in the coming days.  I'm going to try to hang a nice I2S DAC on it to play high fidelity sound.  I'll post my results.

This is a cool version- I like the internal file storage support as well as the very complete SD Card Support- wonderful.
