Hello,

Testing a few other SMIL 3 features I noticed these bugs in Ambulant
Linux 2.2b2.

On the bottom of this smilFile is bar and when the mouse is over it, it
should trigger inBoundsEvent. The inBoundsEvent happens but when the
mouse is below the bar.

The bar starts a links panel to the pages of the presentation, when the
'Visual Fade' text is click Ambulant will start the video page and it
will stop playing when it reaches the video element using transition
type="audioVisualFade".

When the text 'Region Size' is clicked that page has the height of the
region larger than that of the root-layout Ambulant will produce this
error message then freeze.

unix_critical_section: 
pthread_mutex_lock failed:
Resource deadlock avoided



smilText fades out but not in, in Linux

In Windows Ambulant 2.2b9 everything works except audioVisualFade, the
player will ignore it:

On Windows Ambulant 2.0.2 with prefetch, it works best, except the
audioVisualFade:

All files zipped:

Books have Table of Contents, I thought I add a Timeline of Contents. I
was impressed on
Ambulant 2.0.2 handled it, transition type="audioFade" sounded good.
This turned out so well I had to add it to my SMIL 3 examples on my
site.

Take Care,
Jose
