My goodness… You are right. I wasn't aware of all those options!
I was puzzled by the fact that I had a tape that was speeded up. In Audition it
is was normal. Huh! I must have hit fast forward button in advertently, not
knowing what it did.
Unfortunately, the fast forward and rewind (setting the playrate) 0nce you
speed it up, there is no key that restores it. Fortunately I have a "resume"
button, that set the playrate to 1. That is the only way "out" once you speed
it up with the controller. Did you find a modifier key that sets the playrate
to back to 1?
Paul: "My goal is that a LiveCode Developer should NOT have to play around or
discover or experiment to find out what the built in capabilities of a built in
object are."
There a "ton" of stuff unexplained in the dictionary. I struggle with it
regularly on numerous so-called "features" that I have trouble with. And yes
there at ton of fiddling to figure out how it should behave. In real time… it
can take days of playing with a "feature" sending queries to Elanor…waiting for
a response and very poor architecture you develop due knowing not the "proper"
way to do something.
That could be dispatched "right now" with a thorough definition, with examples,
in the dictionary and we would get our code right from the "get go".
I glad to hold of this now before i start on a movie annotation module.

I stand corrected (a tiny bit) as I finally found this among the
LiveCode Lessons: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4603/l/44283-using-players
It actually has an annotated picture (at
https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/001/160/690/original/36c81ebf-9b3a-4610-a259-fbc2eacd2843.png)
of the controller and the sparse notation:
"The controller that appears at the bottom of the player allows the user
to start and stop play back(1), control the volume(2) and move to a
certain point in the sound file or movie(3,4)."
And, yea, I probably could have tried every key and click combination in
the time I have spent searching for documentation :-(
