Move 'Playback Settings' up from 'General Settings' to 'Settings' (FS#9472 by William Poetra Yoga Hadisoeseno but without the menu rearrangement) also closes FS#9154. Update manual to reflect the menu change, Playback Settings is now its own chapter. As a bonus that makes it a bit easier to find stuff in the toc.

\section{Shuffle}
Turning shuffle on will cause Rockbox to randomly re-order the
playlist. Thus, to shuffle all of the audio files on the player, you first
need to create a playlist containing all of them. For more information on
creating playlists refer to \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}.\\

\section{Play Selected First}
This setting controls what happens when you
select a file for playback while shuffle mode is on. If the
\setting{Play Selected First} setting is \setting{Yes}, the file you
selected will be played first. If this setting is \setting{No}, a random
file in the directory will be played first.
\item[Fast-Forward/Rewind]These settings control the speed and acceleration during fast forward and rewind.
\section{Fast-Forward/Rewind}
These settings control the speed and acceleration during fast forward and rewind.
The setting \setting{FF/RW Min Step} controls the initial speed and \setting{FF/RW Accel} controls the acceleration.
\item[Anti-Skip Buffer]This setting allows you to control how much music is
stored in the \daps{} memory whilst playing a song, acting as a buffer
against shock or playback problems. The \dap{} transfers the selected
amount of the forthcoming song into its memory at high speed whilst you are
playing the song. It keeps a ``rolling'' buffer, which keeps feeding more
of the forthcoming song into memory as it goes along.
If the \dap{} is knocked, shaken or jogged heavily while Rockbox is trying
to read the hard drive, Rockbox might not be able to read the drive.
Rockbox will retry over and over again until it succeeds, but may
eventually reach the end of the memory buffer. When that happens, Rockbox
must stop playing and wait for more data from the disk, which causes your
music to skip. The anti-skip setting tells Rockbox how much extra buffer
memory to spare to handle this situation. This setting therefore allows you
to reduce the chances of there being a gap or pause during playback of
songs.

\item[Fade on Stop/Pause]Enables and disables a fade effect when you
pause or stop playing a song. If the Fade on Stop/Pause option is
set to \setting{Yes}, your music will fade out when you stop or pause
playback, and fade in when you resume playback.
\item[Party Mode]Enables unstoppable music playback. When new songs are
selected, they are queued at the end of the current dynamic playlist
instead of being played immediately. Pausing and stopping playback is
disabled as well as skipping songs and launching plugins.

changing between songs recorded at different volume levels.
