I updated to v8.7-6 yesterday.

- I noticed while using mplayer engine, 44.1k 64kb/s mono cbr mp3s (audio podcast) won't play, yet they play fine using osso engine. 32kb/s and 96kb/s files work fine using mplayer, but not 64kb/s. very odd.

- using osso engine still has very low volume. I have kmplayer volume up all the way (volume indicator would be a nice addition) and the main volume is up to 90%. hearing alerts and other OS sounds are quite jarring at that volume when I have my headphones on.

- while using mplayer to watch a video, pressing the menu key does nothing. It used to bring up the mplayer controls. Is my kmplayer broken or is that very useful menu been disabled? I use the audio sync quite often, now i can't use it at all. Please bring it back.

- pressing the middle of the dpad pauses video but pressing it again does nothing. pressing either volume keys unpauses. This is a very odd and unintuitive key binding. Pressing left or right forwards or rewinds the play position, but the up and down key does nothing. Wouldn't you think these unused keys could be put to better use by binding them to volume or playlist position while in full screen?

- it would be nice to have some sort of time indicator (elapse/total), as well as a momentary one for volume.

- I still find adding a lot of files to the playlist unintuitive and cumbersome. The osso player app makles it easy but selecting a number of files and saving a list (unless they are .rm files which osso won't recognize). Kmplayer won't allow me to select a number of files in the open dialog. Opening one file at a time or making a playlist in another app is a pain. It would be nice if you can open numerous files at once, or be able to select a folder and have kmplayer play all the files within.

- using mplayer, kmplayer still won't play files with long file names yet, osso will. For example "The Adam Carolla Show - 2006-01-10 (Jim Belushi & Carlos Mencia).mp3" won't play in mplayer but plays fine in osso. But cutting it down to 12 characters works, but I shouldn't have to. "Well, just play it using osso then..." Sure, that would be ok by me BUT, osso plays with such a low volume.
