Description teke 2002-11-12 09:25:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

Noatun skips in the middle of one song to the next in the
playlist. This seems to happen when noatun does not get a large
enough of a time slice as it happens repeatably when I create
some other activity (e.g., go back or forward between pages in
Mozilla or querying the system's rpm data base - at least the
first time - I guess then it is in the file cache).

Linux 2.4's awful IO scheduler causes that condition to happen on my machine all the 
time, and the playback doesn't skip the song (it does pause for a few_seconds_ though). 
 
I think I mean to say that this shouldn't happen; maybe it's one of redhat's infamous "we 
changed it cause we felt like it" patches that help nothing and break everything.</bitter>

Not exactly, I stumbled across VERY broken mp3-files that made mpeglib _and_ 
artsd crash. After Noatun detected that, it restarted artsd and went on with 
playing the next file. 
This can also occur if you seek a lot in broken mp3-files. I still haven't 
found out what exactly defines as "broken" :( 
Somebody with more knowledge about mp3-data-internals, please feel free to 
contact me ;)
