Seems to have fixed the audio problem. Also am able to use Muro, which is a pretty complicated graphic app.
I love its bootup time and battery life. If I am not processing art images (it is terrible for that) it is my favorite of my three laptops for social networking, blogging, reading news.

CR-48 Audio Problems
I was able to consistently produce audio streaming problems using the WeatherBig app.
What gives? Anybody see this one?
I was able to duplicate this on the CR-48 with two different streaming audio sites.
1) install WeatherBug.
2) Install Santa Cruz CA, and Palo Alto CA as two tabs
3) To test, next do a cold boot.
4) Go to audio streaming site and start audio
5) Audio works fine
6) Now go to apps tab and got to WeatherBug.
7) Select the Palo Alto tab.
The audio turns into crackly sound and becomes unintelligible within 30 seconds. 
To fix you need to close the WeatherBug tab and do a cold reboot.
I have already reported this to Google.
The sites I saw this on are:
The Freakenomics podcast on the NY Times.
KGO 810 radio listen live.

Hacking your CR-48 Profile Photo
You can use Piknik to do it, as outlined here:
http://www.thechromesource.com/replacing-your-profile-picture-on-the-cr-48/
However, that's pretty boring!
Alternatively, the profile photo exists on your hard drive at /home/chronos. This file is called yourname@gmail.com.png. If you have jailbroken your machine, and you downloaded a photo from the web, it will be in /home/chronos/user/Downloads. (You can get into the full shell from crosh by typing shell, and if you need superuser privileges, sudo su.)
You can just copy the file, renaming it as a .png file with your email that you use for logging in. I was able to download a png file of a cartoon character and then, change my photo in this way.
Warning: I am not sure what it does if it finds no yourname@gmail.com.png. .png file, but a yourname@gmail.com.jpg. instead, or what happens if the .png file has dimensions that it doesn't like.
I suggest you back up your original photo, before you try this.
