Although I agree that maybe there needs to be some more overall 
coordination.  The important aspects of design and general layout have
been pretty much decided, and simply some hard work coding to the specs is
need,

So I think the best things you could possible do:
i) Take over the Sound team, which is enough work in itself.
ii) get some of your friends to join in other empty slots in the project.


Otherwise there is nothing stopping you taking the source out of cvs and
forking a new project run by yourself.  


I would think that most of the current members, might object to someone
they hardly know taking 'leadership' of the project.  And I'm not the
person to ask, rather more a discussion for the general mailing list.

Penguinplay has all this.  Physical resource aren't the problem, it's
simply a matter of needing more man hours and maybe a little more
communication.
