RE: playTone duration in Arduino package

>> playTone(a,'D10',440,1) %piezo speaker is attached to D10 and makes a tone that never stops
>> playTone(a,'D10',300,1) %frequency changes but never stops
>> playTone(a,'D10',0,1) %sound stops
>> playTone(a,'D10',180,3) %makes a tone that never stops
>> playTone(a,'D10',440,0) %frequency changes but never stops

It looks good to me, so must be a bug in the code - the duration should be passed to the Arduino tone function in the library code, so if its not turning off, its acting like the duration its receiving is 0 that would play until the stop is called.

 I will have to hook up an Arduino and take a look.
