The main reason is to try to force people to use startoffset and endoffset. There have been a lot of theoretical arguments, both in this thread and in the past, that large amounts of soft padding are needed. However, I don't recall hearing any of those people say they actually tried using the hard offsets and found they caused serious problems. I have a feeling that using hard offsets won't be a serious problem for most people. As I said, we'll re-evaluate the situation in a few weeks. If something more is needed, we'll address it, but we'll address it fully in the scheduler and not as a side effect of recorder startup and teardown. David -- David Engel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
