RE: CinemaSix 1.1 Beta Ready

Fantastic!  The only flaw I could see is that you forgot to change the rev.
number on the opening menu.  Works like a champ, even the "pause".
Occasionally it was necessary to push "rotate" after a long pause to get the
sound working again, but that is very minor.  Great job!
