-  The buffers are labelled as <kbd class="menu">p</kbd> for playback and <kbd class="menu">c</kbd> for capture. If the
-  system is fast enough, these buffers should be 100% full at all times, showing the system has time to precompute
-  all the data before delivering it to the audio system. A buffer constantly under 20% is a sign of an underpowered
-  computer system or of too much processing.
-</p>
-<p>
-  An Xrun (short for buffer over- or under-run) happens when the system has been forced to skip audio frames, e.g. if the latency
-  asked is too short for the computing power of the machine. It usually results in clicks, pops and crackles if it happens while recording.

-  The log button turns yellow when a warning is shown, and red when an error occurs. Clicking the log button gives access to the log.
+       Some of these indicators also double as a shortcut to a relevant 
+       action, triggered by double clicking the info field:
