So quite possibly there was a good reason for this, in which case I need
to find appropriate fallback behavior for HWCODEC.

When I played around with this some time ago, I found that the MAS MP3
decoder would hiccup and loose one or two syllables when transitioning
between talkbox clips and Voice UI clips.

I found that this could be cured by ensuring that similar Lame
parameters were used for encoding both the .talk files and the Voice UI.
The parameters actually used were quite different, as the Voice UI
required that the clips were as short as possible so that the packed
module would fit into the available memory.

Ah. This explains things. And so I guess using different parameters would be a common practice. In that case I guess I wil have to #ifdef out the speaking of the thumbnails from my bookmark patch for HWCODEC.

Unless some mp3 guru knows a way around this... perhaps inserting some noop frames to get it to reset...

I hope that you find this information helpful.

Very. Thanks for taking the time.
