probable bugs with "full file buffering" option

I recently bought a nice Tera Byte network storage and I put my MP3s on it. I quickly noticed that unfortunately seeking within large MP3 files could now take several minutes. This is of course unbearable. then I looked around a bit and found in the foobar FAQ that this slow seeking method is needed for accuracy and cannot be fixed (bummer  ).

I finally found a solution by using the "full file buffering" option in the advanced preferences (I set it a 150 MB since I have 2GB of RAM). Everything looked and sounded perfect with instantaneous seeking until I found what I think are two bugs:

1. Mp3 files larger than ~65MB don't load at all anymore.

2. Mp3 files loaded by a cue file are apparently NOT buffered (seek times still >1min and files >65MB still load).



PS: It would also be nice to be able to buffer all the MP3 files when loading a m3u.
