Right. It doesn't change run-time, but it can (now) handle a change whilst
the code is inactive. It's like rebooting ipf without rebooting the box,
where before it didn't support such changes.
Anyway, that'll be 3.2.11 which will be sometime next month (when I've
finished testing/debugging the real audio proxy which semi-works at
present).
