"Nobody has stepped forward to say that the kernel should not be tainted in such a situation. Instead, one might almost be able to merge a patch causing the kernel to emit scary horror-movie sounds as well."

Sounds like a great idea for Amarok hackers! (Assuming the value can be read from user space too:-)
