now tracks update frequencies of the server and each client
now tracks update frequencies of the server and each client
now forgets clients that haven't submitted a value in 5sec

refactored sendlevels into a few methods

new cmdline option --fast-updates to dump every DMX transmission to the console
#!/usr/bin/python
"""

this is the only process to talk to the dmx hardware. other clients
can connect to this server and present dmx output, and this server
will max ('pile-on') all the client requests.

this server has a level display which is the final set of values that
goes to the hardware.

clients shall connect to the xmlrpc server and send:

  their PID (or some other cookie)

  a length-n list of 0..1 levels which will represent the channel
    values for the n first dmx channels.

server is port 8030; xmlrpc method is called outputlevels(pid,levellist).

todo:
  save dmx on quit and restore on restart
  if parport fails, run in dummy mode (and make an option for that too)
