I was thinking of the inevitable next feature request concerning soft
times.  That is, "well, if you can't honor all of the padding, at
least honor some of it."  IOW, recendts = endts + endoffset + F *
magictime, where 0 <= F <= 1 and can change from one pass to another.

That's not the case I was thinking about, but it makes the point even
