Remote Speakers Output Plug-In 4.1
It has been a while since I last posted. You'll be happy to know that I've been hard at work chasing quite a number of small bugs and adding new features. Today, I'm happy to announce that I have finally reached critical mass. Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports and trace logs to help me correct quite a list of stability issues. And to everyone, please enjoy the update.

As always, please let me know if you find any problems with the release. I am still chasing a couple of minor issues but nothing that should come up during normal use. If anyone has an AirPlay device that does not work properly with the plug-in, I'd sure like to hear from you; with your help I should be able to add support.
