[CIMC-work] proposed haiti block

[ChrisGeovanis at aol.com]

These are great suggestions, Chris. Frankly, I had a huge problem uploading 
the audio (which I can hear better if I turn up the volume control directly on 
my PC laptop or desktop). Can anyone spec out the audio upload requirements 
for the new site code? It seems to automatically want to turn the file into a 
RealAudio accessible file, and I couldn't even grab the audio back from the 
browser on my laptop until I installed (!) RealAudio. I'm sure accessing the audio 
is virtually impossible for people who don't have the appropriate software 
preloaded. What's up with this? Ian, anybody, can you point me to specs for more 
efficient audio uploading?
