Not sure if these behaviours are bugs. And if they are bugs, then I'm of course, happy to file bug reports.

So I'm testing kdenlive-15.08 to see if it works for me yet, or if I need to stick to uber-stable 0.9.10 for a tad longer.

Here are some things which happen in 15 that don't in 0.9.10.

In 0.9.10 when I playback at increased speed, play backwards, skip by moving the playhead, or track forward and backward using the mouse-wheel or the relevant buttons that do the same stuff I get majestic silence, but in 15, I get audio from the video, but it doesn't sound great as it's not very smooth due to the way I'm playing it. Is this a bug?

In 0.9.10 when I play a video and then click somewhere else on the track, the playback continues from that new spot. When I try the same in 15, when I move the playhead the playback stops at the selected position. Is this a bug?

The first behavior you mention is called "audio scrubbing" - see https://userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manua ... e#Playback
In 0.9.10 you had to turn on "use Open GL for video playback" checkbox on the kdenlive settings to get this. But in >=15.04 this setting is on by default and it looks like you get audio scrubbing on by default too. This is not a bug. It is a useful feature if you are trying to scout around for the beginning or end of some audio cue.

Second behavior change - I dunno about. If you think it is a useful feature that has gone missing you could bug report it.

Thank you, that's very useful.
