Hello everyone. Let me start by saying that I, Ross Carlson, have been
lurking here for quite some time, and the work that you are all doing is
absolutely FASCINATING, to say the least. The possibilities of this are
immense.

About the inline noise thing. How hard would it be to code it into the
browser to check for obstacles for that noise. The relative size of any
obstacles in the path of the noise would diminish the sound volume
accordingly. The radio itslef would be one obstacle, so the sound would
appear louder when the user stands in front of the radio. Of course, the
browser would have to know what side of the radio object is the front.

Just a thought, have fun!
