Description curtis 2004-04-04 19:10:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.2 
OS:          Linux

After finally getting flac support working in arts, I notice the ends of the songs are cut off by a few seconds. Also, the slider showing song position is stuck at the end and the time counter at the bottom increments by 3 seconds, showing a much higher time than is correct.

Both these problems don't seem to occur with an ogg file.

I'm using the xine_arts plugin included in the kdemultimedia package.

It could be problem with Xine, I have previously have had similar problems with older versions of xinelib.

How does the same file play in your installed version of Xine?

Tried xine 1_rc3 and it plays flacs fine. Same song in juk misses last few seconds. The amount missing varies each time from about 3-7 seconds.

However, I now think this is an arts problem, because artsplay <song>.flac cuts off the end as well. Man, what's up with arts? It constantly crashes, too.

Yes, I have discovered this problem. I can confirm that it seems to be a problem with any kde program that uses arts. juk , noatun, kaboodle all exhibit the error. The commandline tool (artsplay) does this too.

I have the same problem in KDE 3.2.2.

Bug 79831 appears to be similar.

I can reproduce this in KDE 3.2.2, losing up to ten seconds off the ends of songs.  The files play just fine in XMMS using the aRts Output plugin v0.7.1

Comment 7 Allan Sandfeld 2004-07-14 18:30:43 UTC

Fixed in KDE 3.3 with the new akode_artsplugin.
