Hi Ray,

found it significantly less stable, with too many irritating bugs
hanging around in core apps.
I do understand that the direction they're heading means it's
going to be better - one day - and that the audio fundamentals
being re-engineered now are going to make a vast improvement
too.
As I mentioned in another post I just made, I'm still getting
weird performance issues using jack as my primary device,
and this is on a very grunty, and quite relaxed, machine.
Probably - though I'm not hip with the nomenclature yet. ;)

An interface where I could press a || style button that paused
advancement of the track but didn't pause the audio output, is
what I'm really after. In my old age I've become much more of
a 'give me a button' rather than 'give me a mechanism' kind of guy.
cheers,
Jedd.

Free software works in strange ways..here on a 1.6GHz Core Duo (not even Core 2 Duo) laptop the Phonon-JACK setup is rock-stable, such that I even have JACK start with my non-realtime kernel and let it (together with ALSA JACK plug) handle all sounds. I'm guessing it's a multicore issue. But if that's really how it is on your setup, it's not very stable. Hard to pinpoint, since hardware is a huge factor too.
Ahh, I was just making sure I understood your requirement. There isn't such an app, but it's a worthwhile project to look into for anyone interested. Let me just check again, you want to be able to pause a track which upon that action will continue to play back the last sound it was playing?
