The name for it is the DRI (can't remember what it stands for...google it
if you care). When I was writing the code, I had trouble figuring out how
to get the DRI to work, so I just stuck with the web interface. I spoke
with Austin Foxly from Ceton and asked him about if there was any
functionality difference but he said no. Behind the scenes, the DRI
interface and the web interface both invoke the same code. So I never
bothered trying to figure it out since it was working as is.

It starts off in a de-tuned state, so probably just reboot, let it sit for
 a few minutes to make sure it settled, take a watt reading, start
playback, stop it, and (with your code patch it will stay tuned to a
frequency) take one more reading. That will tell you the difference between
fully turned off and partially turned off (just make sure that commflagging
or other tasks aren't still running in the background).

Smart move. If they give you any unhelpful response (like "well, then just
don't do that") let me know and I can always contact Austin and get his
input on the matter.
