Thanks for the respin. I have one question however:

I never used that option so I'm unsure about this. Do we ever want to
change this value? I really would like to only offer options that are
sensible to change.
If it is sensible to have this option, then from what I read in the
documentation, 12 is indeed a good default as it does not seem to depend
on the actual device. Am I right?
If we agree on how to proceed, I can fix up the patch myself.
Thanks
Detlev

called off in 1945, when it was realized that the next time the game was
played would be the last. -- Noam Chomsky
