These settings control the speed and acceleration during fast forward and rewind.
The setting \setting{FF/RW Min Step} controls the initial speed and \setting{FF/RW Accel} controls the acceleration.
-\section{Anti-Skip Buffer}
- This setting allows you to control how much music is
- stored in the \daps{} memory whilst playing a song, acting as a buffer
- against shock or playback problems. The \dap{} transfers the selected
- amount of the forthcoming song into its memory at high speed whilst you are
- playing the song. It keeps a ``rolling'' buffer, which keeps feeding more
- of the forthcoming song into memory as it goes along.
- If the \dap{} is knocked, shaken or jogged heavily while Rockbox is trying
- to read the hard drive, Rockbox might not be able to read the drive.
- Rockbox will retry over and over again until it succeeds, but may
- eventually reach the end of the memory buffer. When that happens, Rockbox
- must stop playing and wait for more data from the disk, which causes your
- music to skip. The anti-skip setting tells Rockbox how much extra buffer
- memory to spare to handle this situation. This setting therefore allows you
- to reduce the chances of there being a gap or pause during playback of
- songs.
