[mary-users] Timestamps mapping for generated audio

[avi tshuva]

Many thanks, Ingmar, for your quick reply. We're trying to incorporate 
your advice into our code.
What do you think: adding API methods, that give difference information 
types such as the one i mentioned, without the need to go through XML 
output - do you think it exist/should-exist or not? After all, 
internally, i guess all that information exist, it's just a matter of 
exposing it via a simple and documented API...?
