Bill, do you know if this was the case with the posted 2.0.0 version
as well?  My problems with audio over USB sound devices seem to have
completely gone away with this updated version - I thought they had
with 2.0.1 but within an hour or so things were slow again, and I
finally found that if I used the Mini's built-in headphone output
things worked perfectly.  Now with this updated 2.0.1 release, it's a
tad slower than the headphone output to use a USB sound card, but it
starts the transmission within about .5s of the transmit period and
finishes around 13s, *before* the Monitor button lights up green again
(previously it would still be transmitting, some times right up until
the 15s mark).=
