Version: 1.92.2 (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-19-generic The last moments are clipped if the file is at the end of the playlist. If the file is in the middle (meaning it is between the previous and the next tracks) then it would play fine. I confirm this for flac (for now) .. I doubt it happened with other file extensions like mp3.
I confirm this only for FLAC files. 1) Add one album 2) Move the last track upper 3) Play that track - it sounds correctly e.g. has right long(full time) If I try to play _last_ track in album, then it has wrong long(-10 seconds)
Probably a xinelib or Phonon issue.
Confirmed by duplicate bug 178792.

Got a similar problem with flac tracks. amarok doesn't begin at the start, it skips 2-10 seconds of the beginning instead. It doesn't matter if the flacs have seektables or not. Makes listening to live concerts impossible. mp3 and other formats work fine. openSUSE 11.2 i586 phonon 4.3.1 phonon-backend-xine 4.3.1 libphonon4 4.3.1 libxine1 1.1.16.3 libxine1-codecs 1.1.16.3 libxine1-pulse 1.1.16.3 pulseaudio 0.9.19 libpulse0 0.9.19 amarok 2.2.1
I could solve my problem by increasing the priority of flacdec. Just modify the entry in xine.conf and Phonon-Xine.xine.conf to engine.decoder_priorities.flacdec:1 (old value was 0) It's just a workaround that worked for me, it might as well solve the issue the bugreport is about.
After having applied the workaround, I'm now encountering the same issue as mentioned in the report. The last bits of flac tracks are missing. But I can exclude a problem with xine-lib, as kaffeine (0.8.8) is playing fine. So either amarok or phonon can be blamed for this.

(Entering from Bug 219426) When trying to reproduce this within Amarok I can say the following: It appears that the effect can occur at any time no matter where a flac is positioned within the playlist. "At home" I usually play flac songs because of the higher quality. So this is quite important for me!
Addition: I am sure that the problem now in Amarok 2 is worse than before. In Version 1 of Amarol I remember this to be a seldom effect. No this effect can be recognized with almost every piece of music!
Martin, in case you haven't seen that yet: this is a Phonon bug, not an Amarok one. Please do not compare two different codebases: Amarok version 1.4.x did handle sound itself, Amarok 2 doesn't and let's Phonon do so. BTW, this bug is about Phonon version 4.3.1, not the 4.3.0 version you are using.
Yes, I have seen, it is a phonon bug. But maybe even fpr the Phonon developpers it might be interesting to know, that I think to remember, the effect has appeared in Amarok before. What I do not understand: What does it mean, that this is about a later version of Phonon? Doeas it mean, that the bug does should not appear in the eralier version or does it mean that the solution is neither available in the later one? Is there a solution, anyway? (Or in sight? ;-) ) Martin

Any changes, any action? (No answer on Comment #12 - can anyone reply? Or is it wrong to say "this bug is about Phonon version 4.3.1, not the 4.3.0 version"?) By the way this is what I do have installed: root@nn:/home/nn# dpkg-query -l phonon* |grep ii ii phonon 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 Phonon module metapackage ii phonon-backend 4:4.3.1-5 Phonon GStreamer 0.10.x backend ii phonon-backend 4:4.3.1-5 Phonon Xine 1.1.x backend Regards, Martin
Sorry for not replying earlier: what I meant to say is that it is not useful to confirm a bug with previous versions to the one the bug has been reported against. It is useful to confirm or invalidate a bug with a later version, though. The Phonon developers are working hard on a new backend for later releases, if you are subscribed to this bug, no need to ask, you will get notified if there are news.

Just for completeness, I'm using gnome, but there was now way for me to indicate this on the question of which version of the KDE I'm using. I have been using amarok (together with pulseaudio) for years without any problems. I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on a new box (64bit). I have my entire music collection in flac and am using amarok with the default backend (in Ubuntu), which is phonon Xine. The problem I have is that the playback skips at irregular intervals (ie. skips between every 30 seconds to 180+ seconds). I have run pulseaudio in debug mode, but there are no messages (ie. warnings, info, error, etc) when that skipping occurs. I can play CDs though Rythmbox (using pulseaudio) without any problems. I can play any of the flac files through Totem (using pulseaudio) without any problems I have another systems with the same version of Ubuntu and Amarok and there is no skipping when playing my flac files. The diferences beyween the systems as I see them are: 64bit (skips) against 32bit (works) Two sound cards, even though the onboard is disabled in the BIOS (skips) against one sound card (works)
I've downgraded to Amarok 1.4 and have the same problem

This is most likely an issue with Xine itself, since Amarok 1.4 (which used xine, but not phonon) has the exact same issue.

This is also true for Musepack format. Using Amarok 2.3.1 / KDE 4.4.2
Definetely a Xine problem, has it been submitted as a bug to Xine team? Changing the Phonon backend to Gstreamer solves the problem for Amarok, but not for Xine itself :-)
Yes, it has been submitted to the Xine team, hence why this bug has been closed as "UPSTREAM".
