I have had 2 issues with my tuner since it was installed. I was wondering if they fit into the "feature" list or "bug" list.

The HD is spun up the entire time the tuner is the source.
I can't figure out why, but it seems that it would add to the MTBF, and goes against the normal spun down player behavior.

A loud thump when switching to radio source and volume is up.
This was brought up before and had been suggested that a 1/2 second mute of the output should be implemented while the tuner module is powering up. I have not yet tried this with 2.0 beta 7

Just my $0.02 or should I say € 0.0227

Check this stuff against 2.0b7 and see if it's the same way. Let us know if it's still there.

Generally, it's good practice to hold off reporting a bug for an older version until after you've checked it against the latest release.

I just re-verified all of the problems, they still exist in 2.0b7

Okay, I dropped this into the internal bug list.
