I'm now running A11 on my main unit, and I'm not positive if this audio glitch was in the previous alphas, but when toggling the pause mode on a mp3, I hear a faint pop in the audio playback. Can anyone else confirm this?

Do you use the players equalizer? If yes, please try to set it to flat and try it again. I had similar problems with earlier alpha versions (the first one with the auto eq feature). That's why I don't use the equalizer anymore, but rather the bass and treble settings.
