Description Frank 2009-04-01 21:54:43 UTC
Version:           1.4.10 (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Some CDs include a bonus song in the last track of the CD.  This song is not in a track by itself, but rather occurs after several seconds or minutes of silence following the song at the beginning of the last track.

Please add support to skip this silence.

This is not a trivial feature to implement. Infact we won't do it for a number of reasons including needing to scan the entire file before playback to determine silent spots, and lack of access to the raw pcm datastream to do this (this is phonon's scope)
