Hi Dave...
Exactly how do you use Fast Forward and Fast Reverse? I implemented
this feature on a private copy of MClient and I am really hard pressed
to say it is useful because the large amount (about 5 seconds) of delay
between when data goes into the MediaMVP hardware and when the sound
comes out of the speakers.
If you use it on something really long it might work out, but to skip
around in even a 5 minute classical track is bothersome.
Also, what happens if you press play for a long time (several seconds)
when scanning?. Does, say, 4x drop down to 1x and that's it. Or, does
it start playing the track over?
...thanks
