Hi Pavel,

Yes, your suggest looks reasonable. Only issue maybe is not easy to called by 
program. After all, the interface is called by program more ofter then by human 
being.

I would like to change the way what you suggest, let see if other guys agree 
with your idea.

Before that, I'll submit another change as per Geert's suggest that change HZ 
to Hz.

Joe
