this happened with both 1.27 and now with the new release 1.28 i was hoping it would correct itself, but hasn't, i will have been lisetening to streaming audio, and all of a sudden, it will stop and freeze, and i will have to kill xmms. i'm using oss, even tho i have alsa compiled into the kernel, and when i load the alsa plugin, it says "snd_mixer_attach: No such file or directory" So i will, in the "Mixer:" box delete "PCM" and put in /dev/sound/mixer and click apply and i don't get the error above, so I manually stop xmms and start it again,(after loading the xmms plugin for testing purposes) i get: "error opening alsa device: No such file or directory" so, i have alsa, cuz it's in my kernel config this happens as root as well Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start streamtuner or shoutcast 2.start xmms 1.27 or 1.28 3.wait Actual Results: after a little while, music will freeze, scrolling text will freeze as will equilizer, button will stick, then i have to go to command line to kill Expected Results: consistent play until user interference
what does streamtuner or shoutcast have to do with it ? i listen to shoutcast/icecast streams with xmms and w/out either of those ... are you broadcasting locally and using xmms to connect to it ? are you dj-ing from xmms to your local shoutcast server ?
it's just the fact that i'm using xmms to connect to streamtuner to listen to it's live-broadcast streams (?) if that makes sense. so, it's not local, in the sense that's it's not on my harddrive.
I believe more info might be needed. Do you, by chance, use the crossfade output plugin? What is your input/output plugins that you are using? I have this problem with the crossfade plugin, and I have crossfade disabled because of it.
plugins i'm using: cd audio player fm radio player mikmod mpeg layer ogg vorbis player reference flac player tone generator wave player echo plugin extra stereo plugin and it only freezes with the live streaming, not with a selected playlist, even on shuffle, or repeat. cuz i tested it out and left it on overnight and woke up the next morning and it was still playing.

Can you please try out xmms-1.2.9-r1 and let me know if that fixed the streaming problem? Thanks.

Hmm... I am still experiencing this issue under xmms 1.2.10. There is an open bug over at XMMS on it: http://bugs.xmms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163
