Well, Foo was a little character invented by either the Aussies or British around about WWII - hence the saying that often appeared on walls - "Foo was here" - usually accompanied by a little drawing of a fence line with a head peeping over it.

'fubar' is widely used as a variable in higher Mathematics - '****edup beyond all recognition' - apparently a Military Term from at least WWII which described the normal level of organisation and planning once the enemy is engaged, or the way that a normal AJ carries out a carefully planned task - in peace time...

foobar
does seem to take a long time to open the first file - probably wouldn't want to make it the embedded default player. It does though have a useful addition - a Screen Reader Compatilbity Mode option (which may make the screen flicker, but probably not a worry to those who really need it!) (Hello Teresa!)

The 'cooking' file referred to above -
MP3 24kbps 11025Hz stereo
Noticeable Sibilants
error on wav ext
'Missing ACM codec' error message generated by foobar when it reads this file with the wav extension instead of the mp3 extension. Some utils WILL play this!

others - I am currently using the Roll & Go samples as a benchmark - they sound good!
MP3 64kbps 22050Hz stereo
