Hi,

Some other annoyances of the player (and why better not use it in this 
version):
It  hogs the cpu-time enormously on its own. Waving between 32 - 50 
percent.
And is slowing down the execution of other handlers containing "wait <x 
millisecs > with messages" or something alike.
When closing the revonline window it shuts down the player, even if 
there is still another window open.

Greetings,
WA
