1. This was a problem in 1.03. The reason it occured was that every process thread the player spawned was set to the highest priority. So one could easially disrupt the others. With 2.0, that was changed so that only mission critical threads like the decoder get the really high priority.

2. Not sure on this one. I do sense some other questions from other board members, so I will ask for them . Does the screen go blank when you do this? And once the car is started, does the empeg do a full boot, or resume, but with a battery icon on the screen?
