Description Dima Ryazanov 2006-01-31 21:43:03 UTC
Version:           1.3.8 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 4.0.2 (Gentoo 4.0.2-r3, pie-8.7.8)
 
OS:                Linux

I'm using the Xine engine with ALSA output. If the soundcard is busy because some program is using /dev/dsp, then Amarok skips every song until the end of playlist, and says that the device is busy.
In dynamic mode, however, it never reaches the end, so it keeps adding songs and skipping them in an infinite loop. Because Amarok is busy 100% of the time, it is impossible to click "Stop", etc.

I've had this a couple of times, it's rather annoying. Especially as
it goes along decreasing the scores of everything until you finally
manage to stop it.

i'd like to add that this is extremly annoying, as amarok's interface becomes unresponsive - the only way to stop this is either by finding whatever app is using sound device and closing that, or killing amarok.

given that it is the output device that is unaccessible, there is no reason to try another input source, so amarok should simply stop playback.

I also get this bug on Mandriva 06 x86_64 using their 1.3.x packages and with self compiled 1.4beta2.

Hello, I'm using 1.4.0 final on KDE 3.5.3 with SuSE 10.0 and I also have this bug. what's even worse is that when I add new songs and try to play them and this bug surfaces, then all new songs get a score of 75, although I haven't even heard them!!

Please don't adjust the scoring for a song that wasn't even started (due to audio device being busy or other errors). Perhaps the "next/prev" buttons can trigger the scoring update instead of the actual song change.
