(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: noatun Version: KDE 3.0.1 Severity: wishlist Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: cc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Debian "woody" KDE packages from kde3.geniussystems.net When playing a stream from a shoutcast server (http://www.stoicnoise.net) there are many dropouts pauses and skips in the audio stream. I believe this is due to poor quality and/or oversaturated network links. However XMMS plays the same stream fine. I'm sure I could solve this by increasing the aRts buffering but I don't want to increase the latency for local audio. It would be very nice if noatun could provide a buffer for network streams to alleviate this problem. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
While listening to shoutcast streams usually works, listening to this special stream does not work for me, too. Probably the bitrate is too high so that the decoder underruns, but anyway artsd crashes, more specifically the playobject code crashes when you call "halt()". Seems like some stack corruption. I'll try to resolve it, but it's probably in mpeglib.
This has been working for me since 3.1.x, and works fine in 3.1.4. Please close.
