I haven't tried it, but this sounds excellent!

My first thought is to wonder whether it couldn't also kick in on the 
high speed fast forward and rewind.  At the moment this kind of gives up 
at a max of x6 I think, and having played briefly with bumping this 
limit up, I find that I am CPU limited anyway (on a P2.8). 

What I would personally really like is a very high speed fast forward a 
bit like the Sky+ boxes so that you can still quickly skip through 
adverts, but get a chance to "skim" them (like a x30 or a x45 speedup).  
Also in the UK I sometimes find it hard to tell when the adverts are 
skipped when I am jumping around in 30sec and 2 min jumps.  We often 
have trailers for similar shows near the end of the adverts, or the show 
might otherwise be hard to tell from just a few frames if it's an advert 
or not. 

Thanks for this patch
