• On/Off
• Mute
• Volume control (Up/Down)

Defined but not tested:

• Input selection
• DSP Modes
• THX contols

Also, Logging events is not up to par either.

   # would like to implement reading from a table in pluto_media that
   # is populated from a screen in web admin... that queries a website for
   # local radio stations based on latitude & longitude or zip code.

   # for now.. populate an array manually

end

#350 Process Incoming Data
