The docs give the default media settings (relevant to this post) as:

method 3
intervals 10
samples 1,1

This would apparently not take advantage of the adaptive sampling 
available under method 3, since this is only performed when the minimum 
samples value is set at 3 or greater.

Having adaptive sampling "turned off" by default because the default 
samples values are set to a minimum might make sense in terms of 
consistency if the intervals value was set to a minimum as well. 
However, it is clearly not and furthermore in apparent contradiction to 
the recommended interval setting for method 3.

I am particularly puzzled about this. While it seems obviously 
inconsistent to me, I have been unable to find any relevant discussions 
or questions on the pov newsgroups (yet).

Could someone clarify or corroborate?
