Ok, 2 points. 1, you can play a file and then move forward and backward by 1 second with right and left arrow. This technically isn't scrubbing as far as I understand the concept. Think of a mode where if you press an arrow the insertion point will move an amount described by the amount of zoom but also you will here the auto play at a faster or slower rate depending on how much zoom and or how far you arrow the audio of the file. You can here the audio as you arrow over it but when you take your finger off the arrow, the insert point stops moving and sound stops. IE, tape moves over the heads when you turn the real but as you stop, nothing is passing over the heads so the audio stops. . This way, you can tap an arrow to get just past a drum beat, the hard consonant of a word or breath after the word etc. It's a very effective and quick way to do by ear editing with out having to listen to the selection over and over as you fine tune start and end points of a selection.
Hope this makes sense and if Amadeus can't do this, I truly hope they implement it in the future as it's such a powerful editing tool, esp for the blind IMO.
