Yes, you have to use elpm - some asm code will be needed as we only
support 16-bit pointers directly.  You can get the low, high and highest
byte of a symbolic address by using lo8(), hi8() and hh8() respectively.

You could try using something like this (not tested), equivalent to

        byte = audio1[addr];  /* addr offset fits in 16 bits */

(the above would work if audio1 was not in a separate address space):

#include <io.h>

unsigned char
get_audio1_byte(unsigned int addr)
{
        unsigned char byte;
        unsigned int dummy;
        asm (
                "clr %1" "\n\t"
                "subi r30,lo8(-(audio1))" "\n\t"
                "sbci r31,hi8(-(audio1))" "\n\t"
                "sbci %1,hh8(-(audio1))" "\n\t"
                "out %2,%1" "\n\t"
                "elpm %1,Z"
                : "=&z" (dummy), "=&d" (byte)
                : "I" (_SFR_IO_ADDR(RAMPZ)), "0" (addr)
        );
        return byte;
}

Of course, I assume you are not easily shocked by GCC asm constraints ;)

Hope this helps,
Marek
