Jamie, thanks for the feedback! Comments below. At this point, voice
bugs are welcome on flyspray or my wiki page so we can track them.

I totally reimplemented the thread interaction for voice, so bugs like
this were expected to go bye bye :)

Really? Wasn't aware of changing this, I'll see what I might have done
to mess it up.

I don't recall the work around, can you refresh my memory?

Hmm, I don't have any voice clips that long -- currently it really
depends on how much of the 'old' clip has been decoded and written into
the pcm buffer prior to the new clip being selected. If the whole 'old'
clip is already buffered, I don't have a way to 'un mix' it at this
time.

I'm glad this seems like an improvement :)
