Just get things clear, is the following true?

WaitUntil(xs, ys) does not propagate the exception from ys if it happens before ys starts producing values, but it will propagate after ys started producing values?

Or, the exception propagates after xs and ys started producing values?

I'm confused. Is "WaitUntil" actually "SkipUntil" ??? If what I thought I saw was right, this name is very misleading.

Audio is poor on WMV (High).

I think the name "WaitUntil" is very good, because it does what it says!

The result-IO "waits until" a defined event fires.

I think what you mean is "SkipWhile". But in case of this function you have to define a predicate and no event!
