Lex: Hmm, what an interesting problem. We had never contemplated the idea of someone hacking the viewer to get access to the UUID's for the map tile. So, the problem is that the existing system isn't scalable - essentially LL is covering the bill to inject new UUID's every few days into our asset system. We are expanding our own storage system to hold the map tile data, and of course greatly increasing the update frequency (which is good for all SL users) then would cost us even more if we keep this system going.

So it seems to me that we shouldn't keep pushing map tiles into our system as assets, even to keep your system running. LL (and by extension all SL users) is paying for this cost, and it certainly wasn't an intended use. Wouldn't you tend to agree?

The idea uses existing voice technology to allow a prim to be a spatial sound source for the streaming audio for a parcel.
One of the downsides to parcel media is that it's ever-present... you hear it from everywhere all the time. For realism, it would be far better to be able to have the audio respect spatial sources. To do this, you would need to be able to define a prim as being a "spatial parcel audio source" via a checkbox in the prim editor. Then, in the parcel media settings, there would be a checkbox that restricts the parcel audio to be only heard from defined spatial source prims. This would need to function for either parcel music or parcel media, so that televisions could be the source of the sound of the stream.

No longer would you be blasted with the sound from a video you cannot see when entering a parcel that has this feature turned on.
