Research direction

Start by locating the jump() implementation and its tests, then trace how paused playback rate affects the end-time calculation. Reproduce the error with the linked p5.js sketch. Done when calling jump() on a paused sound no longer throws and behaves as intended for the playhead.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

jump() on a paused sound throws error "RangeError: Value must be within [0, Infinity], got: NaN"

The error may be “Invalid argument to cancelAndHoldAtTime: null”. A paused sound is really playing at rate 0, so the end-time calculation divides by zero and gives null?

Either guard against rate 0 or make jump() just move the playhead while paused.
