Ah. So bad, as the guy seemed to say it was working. Maybe we could give
it another try. I remember that when I worked a bit on the problem I
managed to get a perfect result in terms of looping, but you couldn't do
it anywhere. And seing the state of audio_loop.cc, I'd advice we restart
it from scratch ;)

I've seen this one too. Errr, it sounds quite dirty to me. And if you
can do that way, what would prevent you from doing the other way, which
is almost the same?

Oh no, no :) We all have enough to work on for now - it's just to keep a
trace of it :)
