I would like to work on this.  I've been running linux for a while now but
never have bothered with sound. The last time I compiled my kernel I
included sound as a module but haven't made time to play around with
getting the plug-n-prey to work.  This would be good experience for me as
well as force me to finish my system setup :->

I was thinking of just implementing the script with perl. (Seems easy
anough.)  Are there any common pit falls that anyone can think of?
