I have spoken with them, they are having the same problem as I am.
I'm just trying to see if I can help out (and maybe get my tuners
working a bit faster). They do plan to include the drivers eventually.
As with all such projects they have limited development resources,
but they have been very cooperative and helpful. As I said, I have
been impressed by how much of the system *does* work, I am enjoying
features that I previously could only read about on this list (mostly
from complaints about problems with them) :-))
