It also stays in memory if you try and stop it by moving to a non sound file
and pressing rCtrl.

I fear this is a bug that Rudy never got round to curing. It should only react to the tap if ZTree has the focus. rpsd seems to have been set up ather differently from rply and been more tightly bound to rpVT.

I am still very sad about Rudy's death and shocked by the spammed state of his forum. I wish somebody could at least clean it up...
