Hi Wilbert,
I would be very curious to know it this works. You may still get 
collisions if you hit ctrl-k at the same time when the rig is 
transmitting information on the bus, just hit ctrl-k again.

I haven't really thought about rig's which have no s-meter information, 
I guess you would at least see the 'S' and then 9 black pixmaps. Maybe I 
should give this some more thought....

Yes, seems like a good idea to me.
