Re: Error handling if source does not support non-audible playback

Hans,

My memory apparently served me badly. We talked about this issue a while back (see [1]), but we apparently haven't reflected the decision (it appears there is a rough consensus in the thread). I'll bring this up again in the next teleconference, and hopefully we can resolve this.

Cheers,
Paul.
