Interesting. I was led more by what these icons mean in the context of an 
audio player. So the double triangle would be fast-forward, and hence run 
more per click. Anyway, I'd be reluctant to exchange two already existing 
icons with each other, as I think it would almost certainly lead to 
considerable confusion. So, I'd vote for keeping the current state until we 
get some entirely different new icons (where users will have to learn a new 
icon altogether, rather than figuring out that one icon now means what 
another used to mean).

I'll be convinced of the opposite, if more people vote for this kind of 
switch. So everyone speak up, if you want to see this change!

Regards
Thomas
