[AG-TECH] APware running - always or just when needed

[George Estes]

   We like to leave the software running all the time.    The only way to 
efficiently move from one preset to another, for example from net audio to 
telco audio, is to have the software running all the time.  We also use the 
interface to mute individual microphones as needed during an AG sessions.
