The problem you describe in item 1 is still happening to me in 1.4 beta
2. I've described it previously on the speech-rec mailing list. Was it
fixed recently (within the past week)?

I agree with this too, fixed in 1.4 and trunk. A new 1.2 patch should be
available from Lumenvox next week as well.

I just took care of this in 1.4 and trunk. Give it a whirl.

Ideally I would like to move this application to use the file API for
all this stuff instead of having to recreate some of the logic.
Final note:
If there's any other comments you have please do reply, I want the
speech API to evolve to the needs of both the developers and the users.
