+BUGS
+______________________________________________________________________________
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+______________________________________________________________________________
+- BUG x->x_delay reset to default when device is opened
+
+______________________________________________________________________________
+- BUG: [mouse] and [joystick] arguments don't work to open device
+
+______________________________________________________________________________
+- BUG: [open('ing a device causes all other active [hid] objs to have their
+devices closed
 
+- this means only one [hid] object can have an open device at one time
 
+- I thought this was due to the hid_close_device() call in hid_open(), which releases
+  the device list, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
 
+______________________________________________________________________________
+- BUG: getting events from the queue doesn't output a 0 value event when the
+  motion stops, so when the mouse stops, the sound keeps playing.
 
+This is probably only a problem on relative axes.
 
+  This will probably have to be implemented on a platform-specific level:  
 
+  - On Darwin/MacOSX, I think that the HIDGetEvent() loop will have to be
+    followed by one call to HIDGetElementValue()
