Hi Ray,<br>

<br>
</div> Yeah, it looks nicer (unless you're on a netbook) but I've simply<br>
found it significantly less stable, with too many irritating bugs<br>
hanging around in core apps.<br>
<br>
I do understand that the direction they're heading means it's<br>
going to be better - one day - and that the audio fundamentals<br>
being re-engineered now are going to make a vast improvement<br>
too.<br>
<br>
As I mentioned in another post I just made, I'm still getting<br>
weird performance issues using jack as my primary device,<br>
and this is on a very grunty, and quite relaxed, machine.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> And aren't you looking for a variation of "repeat A-B()"?<br>
<br>
</div> Probably - though I'm not hip with the nomenclature yet. ;)<br>
<br>
An interface where I could press a || style button that paused<br>
advancement of the track but didn't pause the audio output, is<br>
what I'm really after. In my old age I've become much more of<br>
a 'give me a button' rather than 'give me a mechanism' kind of guy.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
cheers,<br>
Jedd.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><div><br>Free software works in strange ways..here on a 1.6GHz Core Duo (not even Core 2 Duo) laptop the Phonon-JACK setup is rock-stable, such that I even have JACK start with my non-realtime kernel and let it (together with ALSA JACK plug) handle all sounds. I'm guessing it's a multicore issue. But if that's really how it is on your setup, it's not very stable. Hard to pinpoint, since hardware is a huge factor too.</div>
<div><br>Ahh, I was just making sure I understood your requirement. There isn't such an app, but it's a worthwhile project to look into for anyone interested. Let me just check again, you want to be able to pause a track which upon that action will continue to play back the last sound it was playing?</div>
