Thanks for the info. I found a C++ Sirius library, but it looks kinda 
outdated so I think I'm gonna be better off writing this plug-in from 
the ground up... The only thing I'm concerned with is that if the merger 
is approved they will take to a new on-line streaming system and I'll 
have to do a complete re-write... I guess it's a small price to pay!
