i was also thinking about a play 1 and play 0.   but, one could also build
this in pd.  probably will be in the next release.

ill look into this though.  maybe its not so difficult. 

in principal it would be the same as pausing for x milliseconds eh? 
or doing a pcmseek +64  without flushing the internal buffer.

because of the buffering, playing backwards is a bit difficult.  but not
impossible.  with mp3 its a bit tricky cause it takes a lot of recources
to be sample accurate with seeking.  again, not impossible though.

and, what exactly do you mean by interpolation?  example code?

ok, that must be a bug. ill look into it when I get back to vienna

could be problem with the slider.  the threshold from (1 - 12) is much
greater on the vslider than from 1-.2 for example.  you might try building
a slider that is larger for the areas between .2 - 1
clicking might also happen if the file cant be read fast enough.  

needless to say, you'll run into problemw speeding up streams from the
net. 


looking into it all  

thanks for the feedback.  that helps! - august.
