The 3.482 distribution still suffers some of the problems I reported
some time ago for 3.481 (altough many other have been fixed, I suppose).
Here are some context diff patches if you want to solve the problems
described below. You can feed this mail to 'patch' and it'll fix the
sources.

with pictures.

opcode diskin:

1) skip time did not work at all, and file sample rate was incorrectely
   displayed (maybe Linux-specific, at any rate the code was wrong)

2) when transposition factor < 0, sound did not play if skiptime == 0

score reader:

comments get evaluated by recursive getscochar()/flushin() calls, and
special characters inside comments get evaluated (probably not what was
intended, I guess). To see what i mean, just try a sco file with a comment
like this:

; this [is] a comment

The square brackets get evaluated and the compiler stops.  The fix is
different from the previous one in trying to be nicer to the historical
sources (it's smaller and better, thanks to Robin Whittle's suggestions).
It does fix the problem reported.
