Sluggish Responsiveness, Resume Playback Inconsistent

Strife89:
First and foremost: I AM NOT complaining here.

I appreciate the work done to fix this problem (I'll test r16399 shortly), but the amount of time since this thread was first posted and the build that fixed the problem (I hope :) ) was quite long - at least a month.

I don't know if this was because the problem was too difficult to fix quickly, or if there was simply a lack of people working on the fix, but I will assume the latter; and while I appreciate continuous work on other aspects of Rockbox (such as USB functionality for PortalPlayer targets - I eagerly await such ;D), I submit that proper operation of basic functionality should ALWAYS come first.

Again, I AM NOT COMPLAINING here; I love the work you guys do and thank you all for the wonderful software that you provide at no charge to users; but I am saying that glaring problems like this ought to get more attention in the future. ;)

Febs:
So why didn't you work on fixing it?

Strife89:
Because I can't code. But at least 300 people have worked on the project, and THEY can definitely code quite well. ;)

Hence, my notice that I'm not trying to be a complaining @$$%0!#. ;)

EDIT: Huzzah!! ;D The problems seem to be fixed!! Thanks again!

Llorean:
Those 300 people are all volunteers. Of them maybe 40 are active. Of them maybe 3 know enough about the details of this part of the code. For three people to fix a difficult problem in their spare time, I think this is a reasonable period of time. Saying proper operation should come first is all well and good but often there is a lack of manpower despite the apparent numbers. And of course people like you never pitch in by starting to learb so you can help next time Instead you just say you can't code, and give your opinion of how we could spend our time better as if we were too stupid to realize that playing music well is the single key function of a DAP.

Strife89:
I AM NOT trying to imply that you are "stupid" or that you are not trying hard. I apologize for anything that rubbed you the wrong way.

Side note: I am attempting  to learn C, and have been for the past week, but the only way I know to do so right now is to grab C files off this site and fire up Notepad ++, then attempt to read the code and decipher commands. Needless to say, it's not going well, and I will be far from capable of helping with the project anytime soon.

Side side note: See FS#8631 for my attempt to give to the project, albeit in the one programming language I ever figured out: TI- Basic.
