On smart phones does the E-Z App link to both the Bluetooth signals of the BlueRail card and the Bluetooth speaker at the same time?  On my iPhone I can just link to one device at a time.  For the sound files, are those stored on the BlueRail board or streamed real-time?  I'm kind of wondering how this'll play out longer term.  Will BlueRail have pluggable sound cards or is there sufficient memory and sound processing/amplification on board to handle all this or is that still under consideration?  The latter is the way to go but that'll require some partnership arrangements. 

When can we expect sounds like that coming from Tsunami 2 and other similar high fidelity sound systems?  Said another way, when will there be equivalence in function between EZ-App and DCS, Legacy, etc.?

I'm looking to add sound to a newly acquired 4-4-0 On30 Modern outside frame steam locomotive (#28324).  I have not acquired a DCC system as yet so will initially run in DC analog mode.  I've identified the sound PCB AE32019 (http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_698&products_id=10469) as being most appropriate (HO 4-4-0 modern it says).  The loco comes with an 8-pin NMRA-compliant decoder and I may be going out on a limb here but is it as simple as buying the sound PCB, a speaker and an 8-pin connector piece and away I go? 

Since I'll be operating in DC analog mode I am assuming that I may trigger some automatic sound features as per the automatic sound configuration register (factory set?) like whistle signals, bells, steam release, etc. 

Unfortunately I could not find any instructions related to the AE32019 PCB so do not know if any sounds will really be made in analog mode.  Just guessing based upon what SoundTraxx says on their website.  Has anyone added sound to their On30 4-4-0 before and did you have any kind of instruction manual?  Anyone know who makes that board?  I suppose I could use a sound board from someone else. 

Also, when sound boards like these are added will factory defaults that allow DC operation work or must I set some variable in the programming?  Being that I don't have a DCC system then that will be tough.  Can I program/read from a computer? 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
