Version: 4.5-git (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux I'm getting distortions playing mp3 files with the phonon-backend (phonon-backend-vlc-0.3.2.0.60.git.1301311994-1.2.i586.rpm). Valori confirmed the distortion while chatting on irc. The distortions are not from the beginning they may appear after some time. Reproducible: Always
The distortions are reproducible with dragonplayer as well. Gst and Xine engine are working fine with amarok and dragonplayer.
5:17 into a 45-minute podcast (not downloaded), phonon-vlc stopped playing it in Amarok. There was a brief odd noise, then no sound. Output was mostly: [0x40a4720] main audio output warning: audio drift is too big (120029), dropping buffer And occasionally this was there too: [0x3d31a80] mpgatofixed32 audio filter debug: libmad error: bad main_data_begin pointer [0x40a4720] main audio output warning: output date isn't PTS date, requesting resampling (451617) Same podcast played with phonon-gst without a problem.
What exactly do you mean by distortion? Also, what version of VLC do you have installed? Also... Valorie, that is VLC (or rather libmad) problem you described there.
Distortion means that there is some noise added as if the sound was overdriven.(übersteuert in german). vlc-noX-1.1.8-1.pm.2.3.i586 libvlc5-1.1.8-1.pm.2.3.i586 vlc-1.1.8-1.pm.2.3.i586 phonon-backend-vlc-0.3.2.0.60.git.1301311994-1.2.i586 vlc-qt-1.1.8-1.pm.2.3.i586 vlc-gnome-1.1.8-1.pm.2.3.i586 libvlccore4-1.1.8-1.pm.2.3.i586
Hm, ok. Thanks. We'll better get some debug logs: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Phonon Also, please make sure vlc itself does not exhibit this behavior. Should it do, please also use export QT_NO_GLIB=1 before fetching log output. This will essentially prevent pulseaudio from being used, mostly eliminating that as source of the problem.
Reassigning to the new bugzilla product for better bug tracing of the various backends. Sorry for the noise.

I have the same bug. Kubuntu 12.10, phonon-vlc 0.6.0. Please reopen the bug. I'm ready to provide any needed information to help to fix it.
