Feature request: quick rewind

[freedmand]

Feature request

• A boolean player controls setting option called "Quick rewind" (or similar) that when enabled causes every pause action to rewind a short amount of seconds (5 or 10 seconds)

Narrative

• Often users are listening to audiobooks in hands-free settings, where their only effective control is to pause or resume playback (often via a bluetooth headset). If for whatever reason you mishear a word or zone out while listening in a hands-free setting, it can be effectively impossible to trigger a rewind action. This setting would allow the user to quickly rewind by simply pausing and resuming playback.

  GIVEN:

• The "Quick rewind" setting is enabled in player control settings WHEN:
• The user presses pause THEN:
• The book is rewound a few seconds

Design

An additional toggle setting on this screen, potentially directly below the "Smart rewind" setting:

Title (en): "Quick Rewind" Default: false Description (en): "Rewind 5 seconds after each pause action"

An alternative to this might be to generalise the "smart rewind" feature and give it 2 settings:

• After Xs of pause
• Rewind Ys

In my personal case, the smart rewind doesn't help, I end up rewinding manually a few minutes each time I pick up. But an automated smaller rewind would be appreciated :)

Is it common for Bluetooth headsets to not provide a way to jump back/rewind? I've only used Sony headphones, but there I triple click play/pause to issue a jump backwards, etc. with only a single button.
