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. > > Thanks once again for the great work.
