Audio cues during FF/Rewind

[hendersj]

Cut/pasted from the task I created - having seen feature requests in the tracker before, I figured it would be switched to a feature request, but I see now that feature requests are not accepted via the tracker - my bad for not reading the instructions first....

iPod Mini 1g, build r23841 (but probably applies to all versions because I don't think this is currently implemented - so more of a feature request than a bug per se).

It would be useful if the playback engine would play back snips of sound when fast forwarding/rewinding; sometimes when listening to a podcast, I stop off at a point and don't set a bookmark (as bookmarks require a playlist or a filesystem/directory based setup, and I switch between rockbox and the iPod firmware, so I'm stuck with the iPod's crazy filesystem layout if I want to listen using both systems' firmware); I know what the topic was when I stopped listening but I don't know the time. Audio cues would be very useful for locating where I am rather than having to move forward and back, pause the advance/rewind and listen, and then try again.

This has been discussed before ... http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=13103.0

Thanks - though your suggestion there is not to pause playback but continue at 1x, I'm actually talking about "audible seeking" which is discussed in that thread in a peripheral way.

Any chance of getting this into the release?

Maybe if someone programmed it first...
