Perhaps play audio feedback when playing non-transcoded, and don't play audio
when playing transcoded files.
Display a progress bar when fast-forwarding or rewinding, but allow manual
speed acceleration, as it is today.
I suggest a configuration setting:
FF/REW acceleration:
Manual
2 sec
5 sec
10 sec
where the acceleration time is the period of time that the button is held down
before going up the next gear-change.
Manual would work like current functionality, where the speed increases after a
FF button hold, but will not increase again until the user presses and holds FF
again. Seeking will continue at the current multiplier rate until play is
pressed to resume normal playback.
2, 5 or 10 sec acceleration would increase seek speed after the chosen period
of time has elapsed whilst holding FF down. If the button is released, seeking
is stopped and the track will resume normal playback.
Another problem to consider with the new FF proposal that the infra red control
may not be dependable. If there's any interruption in signal, FF speed will be
lost and the user would have to build-up to speed again.
