I read Sean's explanation (in the quoted thread) on why it's difficult to do ff's perfectly. It seemed leaving out audio would make it easier *for the developers* to do a ff in the way I'd like to see it. Reading this thread I'm not the only one. I find the current method confusing and - for me - useless. I'd have no objection against a configurable ff-scheme, but I imagine that goes against the first rule of coding: Keep it simple.
