> If you use ControlPlayback to rewind past the beginning of an audio file, in this case with ulaw files, you'll see warnings like this:

> This shouldn't be throwing warnings, because a user rewinding a recording to the beginning is a perfectly legitimate thing to attempt.
> Two possible options are:
> 1) Have the file formats not throw warnings for this (but debugs instead), if there is no actual circumstance in which this would be a cause for concern
> 2) Catch this possibility in the ast core rewind function and set a floor of 0 for the offset to seek, preventing asking the file format for a negative seek time to begin with.
> A patch for possible option #2 is enclosed.
