Not ignoring your mail completely... How you described is exactly how it works. /usr/share/freevo/freevo_config.py provides the base, hopefully reasonable, defaults and local_conf.py overrides these defaults to your tailored settings. local_conf.py.example is, or was once, a copy of freevo_config.py with everything commented out. The interesting part is where freevo finds local_conf.py. It searches three locations, the current directory, ~/.freevo and /etc/freevo. This means that it is possible to run several versions of freevo on a system and have different configurations for each. Hope this helps someone who wants to try a later version without breaking the installed version.
