[CIMC-work] proposed haiti block

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Chris, Ian, all,

Excuse my "butting-in" here: 

Again with the proviso that this is off the top of my head, I'm a bit puzzled that audio uploading would be any different, despite the change in the site's codebase. Regarding the volume level, it might have come out low-level if it was fed into your computer that way.

I think most newer computers and browsers come with an audio-listening plug-in, like RealAudio or QuickTime. But it was thoughtful to provide the reader with a link for downloading an audio player.
