Already done. Just have to power the mic amp up. Remote shot works too. I am still disassembling the firmware so I don't have to re-create the function with audio IC writes. I don't think thats the proper way. Right now a stable release is being worked on so no new features are being added for now.
Bad news is that I found ALC setting min gain/max gain while recording even in manual mode.
This is what monitoring sounds like right now:
