just steel guitar, Shockwave and Justonics

All-
Over the years I have played with several pedal steel guitar
players, and some of them, notably Chuck Lettes and Daniel Jones tuned
their steels to "pure" intervals. In conversation with Daniel Jones it
became apparent that he knew technically what he was doing--tuning pairs
and trios of strings for beatlessness, and tuning the pedals and levers
appropriately. Does anyone here know of any articles on non 12tet pedal
steel guitar tunings, or recordings of "just" pedal steel?
On another subject, I have downloaded Shockwave digital audio streaming
software, (allows "high fidelity" real time audio transmission over the
web, and the player's free)

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/

and I am pretty happy with the sound (the best sounding audio streaming I
have heard so far), although the streaming is intermittant (maybe I
haven't adjusted everything properly yet). I think this technology might
be useful as a tool to get the sounds of microtonal music out to the
public. Has anyone used the shockwave audio encoder? Any opinions?

Also, I e-mailed Justonics twice regarding price and availability
of their just intonation software and received no response. Does anyone
here have any updates on what these folks are doing? Is the software
available at all yet?
