+   Title:  An Open Approach to Whole-House Audio
+
+   Abstract:
+          During the construction of our new house, a proprietary platform
+          for whole-house audio was proposed by our builder.  Unable to
+          find a suitable open alternative off-the-shelf, Bdale set out to
+          design and build the required hardware and software.  The
+          results include an open hardware USB to 30 watt per channel
+          stereo audio module, and enhancements (we're still working on)
+          to enable Mopidy to manage multiple simultaneous audio streams
+          each controlled by different users in the home.  This session
+          will explore the design of our system, the new hardware module,
+          and our progress with and remaining challenges adapting the
+          software to our needs.
