Yeah I wrote that one based on one of the first drafts, but the drafts
changed so much it isn't even funny anymore :-) And I wasn't planning on
updating it until there would be a real ACN standard, and that could
still take a while :-)
If you get your version done, please let me know, so it can replace the
old version. Actually you could just reuse the directory plugins/acn/
and just replace/update the packet-acn.c file with your version. That
way there will be no double ACN stuff at all.

Hmmmm yeah this seems a question for Guy, Ulf, Gerald and co.
