RE: CinemaSix 1.1 Beta Ready

Sujul - 

I had an opportunity to watch a 1 hour PS video both on the computer and via
vlc/http/HD1000.  I noticed that there were rather large gaps in the HD1000
viewing.  It seemed to be associated with the "pause" function.  Going by
the activity lights on the network switch and what I saw on the screen,
little, if anything is lost during the pause itself.  It turned out that a
couple of minutes were being lost each time the 'rotate' button was pressed,
after a pause, to re-establish the audio stream.  Is this something that can
be fixed in the future?
