This is a really easy task. Scrubbing is enabled in src/monitor/glwidget.cpp by this line (in several places):

m_consumer->set("scrub_audio", 1);

Setting a value of 0 will disable scrubbing, so we just need to add a config option in Kdenlive Settings to enable/disabled it using a KdenliveSettings entry.

Would it be a good idea to have both a configuration option as well as a status bar toggle for this, much similar to the changes I did for automatic transitions? Then I could do this; I would benefit from this feature too.
Comment 5 Wegwerf 2016-11-13 17:01:26 UTC
Oh, any suggestions as to the design of a status bar toggle for this? How do I visualize audio scrubbing...?
Comment 6 farid 2016-11-14 11:03:16 UTC
It could be maybe something simpler like a toggle option in the Timeline menu, that's how Blender does it and I think it is fine. 

Thanks for picking this up Wegwerf!

Audio scrub would be well placed next to show audio or video thumbnails, as it's another representation of the  timeline. It can be just a volume/speaker icon.
