Hi Ryan,

>Why would one want a one line terminal?

The reason I made the patch is the following. I still do work on the null_audio 
implementation, and for testing purposes I use the playfile command. That one 
dumps a lot of debugging output to the Terminal.
As I am running Haiku on the emulator the system gets really slow and 
investigating over Process Controller resulted in the app_server using half of 
the CPU for drawing the Terminal output, while the other half is inside of the 
MediaKit (media_addon_server).

Now, if the Terminal size is reduced to one line, the app_server should not 
need to update huge areas (only that line specifically), and that should save 
some ressources.

Thank you for applying the patch.

Best Regards,
Bek
