the ``a`` timestamp. Seeking past the ``b`` point doesn't loop (this is
intentional).
- If both options are set to ``no`` or unset, looping is disabled.
- Otherwise, the start/end of playback is used if one of the options
- is set to ``no`` or unset.
+ If ``a`` is after ``b``, the behavior is as if the points were given in
+ the right order, and the player will seek to ``b`` after crossing through
+ ``a``. This is different from old behavior, where looping was disabled (and
+ as a bug, looped back to ``a`` on the end of the file).

+ If either options are set to ``no`` (or unset), looping is disabled. This
+ is different from old behavior, where an unset ``a`` implied the start of
+ the file, and an unset ``b`` the end of the file.
The loop-points can be adjusted at runtime with the corresponding
properties. See also ``ab-loop`` command.
