Bugzilla Bug 118956

The ebuilds that compile and install XMMS introduce many minor bugs that are
not present when I manually compile and install XMMS (without any patches). 
Until today, I thought the problems where due to glitches in the MP3 files, but
today I learned that the MP3 files are fine and that the Gentoo compiled
version of XMMS is the problem.

The problems are:
1) seeking to random locations (by moving the track location slider) fails
2) seeking by jumping forward/backward 5 seconds fails
3) track time incorrectly displays as 0:00 and playback slider never moves
4) track location slider jumps when pause button pressed, jumps back when
unpaused

These problems manifest with xmms-1.2.10-r15 or x86.  2005.0 or 2005.1 install,
I cannot remember which.  2.6.14-r5 kernel (and also on previous 2.6.12-r10
kernel).

Problems 1-3 (but not 4) also exist with xmms-1.2.7-r19.

Problem 4 also exists when playing back ogg-vorbis files.

The problems only exist with the portage/ebuild installed version of XMMS. 
When I manually install XMMS 1.2.10 and/or 1.2.7 (./configure && make && make
install) XMMS works fine.

The problems only exist with certain MP3 files.  It may be that it only exists
with MP3 files lacking Xing or ID3V2 info, but I am not an MP3 expert and this
is only speculation from a third party who helped me track down the bug.

I am unfamiliar with Bugzilla, but I will try to attach a couple MP3 files that
expose the problems.

Created an attachment (id=77052) [details]
An MP3 file that exposes the problems described.

Created an attachment (id=77053) [details]
A second MP3 file that exposes the problem.

I had the same problem. But it goes away if you uncheck the "Parse XING
Headers" option in the "MAD MPEG Decoder" input plugin configuration dialog.
That's with xmms-1.2.10-r15

xmms and all plugins are now package.masked and will be removed from the tree
in one month.

WONTFIX.
