AutoZen 2.1 review

AutoZen is a software 'brain machine' for Linux. It generates sounds that are meant to cause the brain to temporarily shift to a different dominant frequency and cause the user to experience an altered state of consciousness. It is similar to the devices seen in the 'Sharper Image' catalog and in magazine ads, but the price is a lot more attractive!
To our knowledge, the medical community has done very little research into these devices, and they may very well do nothing at all. The author has used AutoZen with good results, perhaps because he meditates regularly, employs wishful thinking, or is just strange. We give no warranty of any kind.
All the same, if you are under treatment for any psychiatric or neurological disorder, you might want to approach this with caution. We have never heard of any problems caused by any software or device of this nature other than some epileptics having problems with the ones that include flashing lights (but then, Pokemon causes the same problem).
Requirements:
Linux
A soundcard
OSS compatible driver (/dev/dsp)
X
GTK >= 1.2
Headphones
What's New in This Release:
Added ability to specify number of harmonics on command line.
Added HARMONICS command to AutoZen and seq2wav.
A VOLUME command at the beginning of a sequence is now processed before AutoZen starts producing sound.
Autozen now looks in ~/.autozen and /usr/share/AutoZen for sequence files when the play button is presed. The ~/.autozen directory is created if it doesn't exist.
Added install to Makefile.
The source tar has been fully Debianized.
