I suppose you could minimize the effect of the pause/resume scenario by proactively flushing the record buffer and loading the voice when the pause command is given, so it is ready to go immdiately when the resume command comes, theoretically making it no worse than the initial record case. OTOH, this would force folks to have to anticipate the delay, which would be undesirable. So I guess a very short beep is superior as it minimizes the delay time. ~ray _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2005-08-18 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
