Yeah, I couldn't find an entry in bugzilla that even talks about
standardizing the FF/RWD feature to be like virtually every other
player.  Perhaps one is needed.

It can't be an issue with buffering data since when in 16x mode, if you
press play, the file playback starts pretty quickly, so I can't imagine
it's a buffering issue.  I think it's just an implementation issue.  I
wish I knew Perl better, I'd try a patch for this.  Could be fun and
maybe I'll look into it.

Another issue that's wierd with FF/RWD is that it makes noise kinda
like a CD player fast forwarding.  I would think it should either mute
the audio when in FF/RWD, or keep playing the track until the progress
meter shows where you want to stop, then start from that point.  Even
cooler would be to have a separate screen that has basically just the
progress bar which allows good visuals of where the FF/RWD "new" point
is.  This second version would be like how Winamp and others handle
FF/RWD.
