Ok, I started working on this, some fixes to the underlying functions
coming too.

Ok, these functions are now deprecated.

Thanks for the feedback.

Part of this will be to make the player and recorder more responsive and
interruptible. I noticed you increased the audio buffer size in
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8dce81f7448d, was there a
strong reason for this?

I'd like to decrease the buffer size again, and actually make it
relative to the audio sample rate, see my attached proposed changeset.
This results in recordings that are closer to the time requested by the
user, and means playback and recording can be interrupted more
immediately.

Comments on https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44142 also welcome.
