What is it?
A sound level manager that nicely fades applications in and out based on
their profile and window focus.



Features :
 - All volume adjustments are fades
 - Fade out music/video players on skype call
 - Fade to music player with focus when more than one
 - Fade out music player when video playing
 - Push sound to USB headsets on plugin
 - Categories to assign to clients
 - Sniffs desktop files to guess application category ... music/video/VoIP
 - Simplified pref UI for creating rules
 - Volume sniffing to fix youtube video issue
 - PID matching
 - Reset volumes for streams on exit (so streams dont get stuck at a low
level)

Using Linux to back out a Windows XP patch

"As of this writing (Tuesday Feb 16th) there don't seem to be any new suggestions from Microsoft to assist XP users whose systems were rendered un-bootable after installing the February 9th patches. For example, the last entry on The Microsoft Security Response Center blog is four days old.

So let me offer a suggestion:  boot to Linux and move some files around."
