         Well, yes and no (at least for my case).  ReleaseDevice
         functionality is for 'playing nice' with other apps, by not
         hogging the device.  It really says nothing about the mixer.
         Choices have been made by the original voxware developers,
         that are not what we would find useful in our particular
         scenarios :)

         As to what nas should do to the mixer on a re-aquire, seems to
         be a matter of debate :)

         It seems you would prefer behavior '0' in the list in my last
         message.  Right now, you can't do that.  For me (and my
         setup/uses) behavior '2' would be preferable.  Can't quite do
         that either.

         If we can come to an understanding of what people need then
         there is no reason we can't please everybody here :) I can
         modify the parser fairly easily, and I'd like to clean up some
         of this 'leave_device' etc crap in auvoxware as well.
