So, despite all the protestations that the seq developers are superior, it seems that Sony has won. ShowEQ is dead and beaten.

There are two alternatives at this point:
1) The current sony code is too hard for the showeq developers to figure out, and have given up.
2) The current sony code has been figured out, but none of the seq developers wants to release it and announce that they've done it, in fear that Sony will just change it again and break them.

So, if its alternative 2, and they've got it all figured out, they (the inner circle of showeq developers) have got showeq working for themselves, and they're going to keep it, just for themselves. Regardless of whether they're hoarding it or not, the result is the same, Sony has won, and all of you dont have it.
