-----------------------------------------------
when I hear a ripples I have the output from xine like:

bits_left=1484
bits_left=1512
bits_left=1844
bits_left=1720
bits_left=2117
bits_left=1888
bits_left=2292
bits_left=900
bits_left=821
bits_left=1077
bits_left=805

etc..

when I hear just a noise + some scratches I have:

[mp3 @ 0xb68fb808]Header missing skipping one byte.
[mp3 @ 0xb68fb808]Header missing skipping one byte.
[mp3 @ 0xb68fb808]Header missing skipping one byte.

[mp3 @ 0xb68fb808]Header missing skipping one byte.
[mp3 @ 0xb68fb808]Header missing skipping one byte.
overread, skip -4 enddists: -1 -1


at the same time mplayer, mpg123 and audacious produce no errors.

I think it was ok with some older version of the xine-lib, I will try to find which one, plus I will try to find the differences in mp3 type when it's playing normally and when not. Currently I'm suspecting that it's bad when I have "Join Stereo" ...

[Comment 1 garfungiloops 2007-04-04 20:27:34 UTC]

Yes. Just installed a version of xine-lib-1.1.2-r3.
It does NOT has a mentioned errors!
The affected files are playing perfectly.
So it's seems to be a versions 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 became a STABLE too early...

Attach a sample file to reproduce this here and reopen then.

Please see the previous attachment.
I've just created a set of test mp3's with lame.
It seems to that a  problem is only with 320kbps (with and without "Joint Stereo")
(2 files are attached)

In that case I hear a ripples.

There is another problems when it's just a noise, but this happens only with movies. VLC shows the codec "mpga" for this stream.
I will try to cut a fragment and attach it later.

And please take into account once again that xine-lib-1.1.2-r3 has no such problems.

a small test for the second problem (mpga stream)

no sound when playing "mpga" streams (MPEG audio according to VLC doc)

Just enable mad useflag. FFmpeg to play mp3 files is just a pathetic workaround, but works for basic uses at least.

Fixed thanks!
