so you could say "ok if you 'seek' we will jump back and render the last XYZ seconds" but some bastard will troll ya, like an XML bomb

seems to me it's rather like the issue of video playback, you MUST have encountered earlier frames to render the current frame correctly.

Mir: Well a clever playback routine would rtender it to wave first, but i don't know any (the only way to make it seekable)

(ha ha, trackerwise, we all know when you jump patterns and it plays super fast or slow -- but that's a differnt thing)(

if was capable playing multispeed tunes (iirc) while for example Audacious fails bigtime for some strange reason. And not much infos about it

if there is some hardware-level "loop back and play again" then sure, you get into Turing fun

i think AY tunes (in god knows how many formats) should be time-predictable. i know SID isn't, but i never quite understood why, i guess really it's hardware instructions, and someimes tricks

i don't know, it was long ago tht i tried it, and i'm not very familiar with c64 stuff. still -- glad it exists
