69	sports a much friendlier user interface.

97	position in SMPTE format.  Position reporting has been disabled for video-buffer
98	producers that read from files (the video-file players and/or codecs in BeOS R4.5.2
99	don't take well to repeated querying about their position.)<br>&nbsp;
100	<li>Improved tool-tips.

121	<li>Broken ToneProducer sawtooth waveform.
122	<li>Groups not split when the sole connection joining them is broken.
123	<li>No default group for video input node(s) (which keeps you from starting them.)
124	<li>Thread-control variables not declared <code>volatile</code>.
125</ul>
126
127<p><b>B_RECORDING:</b> support for filtering live streams from physical inputs
128has been vastly improved.
129</p>
130<p><b>Workaround:</b> on the BeOS R4.5.2, some nodes for audio-input hardware (such as the emu10k) stop
131responding when requested to stop.  Physical-input nodes cannot be stopped for now
132(once the node has been started, the group inspector 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons will
133have no effect.)
