Oh that was a personal hack that must have snuck back upstream. I'm fine to change it back, although the newer behavior makes a lot more sense to me.
My girlfriend (a newbie DJ) played a set and made extensive use of samplers, and she had trouble remembering that she had to rewind the sampler every time she played it. She preferred to just push the button and have it play from the beginning. Also, for jokey stutter effects (personally for me, banging the airhorn button), I thought having the play button always start playback made sense. This would make it possible to do drum-machine style performance, too. I'm also thinking about the radio DJ case where they might want to play little sound effects here and there, and they should just be able to push the button without needing to make sure that the playhead is in the right place. I don't really get why we treat samplers like little tiny regular decks when the use-case is really different, so I prefer this style and would prefer to change the other skins to match.
