Description Arnout Boelens 2005-01-10 09:50:27 UTC 
Version:           1.2-CVS-20041231 (using KDE 3.3.1,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-3)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-2-k7

When listening continuous mixed music I hear a gap between the different songs although in the playback menu I have have set "no crossfading" and a gap of 0 milliseconds. I use the GStreamer Engine with osssink.

Actually, from every song the first 1 or 2 seconds are skipped.
Comment 2 Ari Steinberg 2005-01-20 11:58:06 UTC 
I agree wholeheartedly, in fact I think I filed the same bugreport just 6 hours earlier :).  This looks like a dupe of bug 96680.

xine-engine has no gap, you may like to use that until gst-engine becomes gapless.

I get a very slight gap, or at least, some disturbance in the sound, using either gstreamer or xine (it sounds pretty much the same). I have no crossfade and a gap of 0ms set.

If I play the same tracks with XMMS using its crossfade plugin, I get a perfect transition (with no crossfade, of course, I have that turned off!) between one track and the next.

Can you try with current cvs and report whether this still occurs?  Thanks
Comment 6 Matiss Piesins 2005-05-05 01:17:09 UTC 
It is still so, either with amarok 1.2.3 or svn build from 05.05.2005.

This is a dup, keeping the other bug as it has more votes and is also include xine.
