We mentioned that the first issue that we raised, regarding the history behind R. Avahu's takkanah for shofar sounds, has ramifications regarding whether one can say a silent vidui in between the sounds of the shofar on Rosh HaShanah. This issue is in fact a point of contention between R. Ovadia Yosef (Yabia Omer 1:36 and Yehaveh Da'at 1:55) and R. Meir Mazouz (Bayit Ne'eman no. 36). See, as well, R. Yaakov Hillel's discussion of this matter, in VaYashov HaYam 3:24.
