2 questions, firstly to the right of the RDS logo on the player i occasionally get a small icon thats looks like a speaker crossed through. Is this supposed to be mute? or related to the radio. It only shows it when it wants, what is it meant to mean? anything?

Also more annoyingly i occasionally get gaps in my songs during playback. The mp3's are fine, infact if i start the track again the gap doesn't appear. it has to be the Empeg as the problem has occured both in car and at home.

Anyone got any ideas about either?
(mk1 with beta11) i found no answer in the faq.
