Bug 90127 – xmms-cdaudio hangs after 4 seconds playback

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Jonathan Heaney 2005-04-23 07:36:24 UTC]

As per the Summary, cd audio playback using the xmms-cdaudio plugin only plays back 4 seconds of a cd before xmms hangs and has to be manually killed.  This happens on every audio cd I've tried.

If I emerge the xmms-cdread plugin, it can play audio cd's OK - and strangely, the cdaudio plugin appears to start working as well (I say appears - with both plugins enabled in prefs, audio cd's play OK when I go right click -> Play -> Play AudioCD, which afaik uses the xmms-cdaudio plugin, although possibly xmms-cdread is doing the actual playback).

Both plugins are configured to use digital audio extraction (I don't physically have an analogue cable connecting the cd to my soundcard header).  CD drive is an IDE NEC dvd writer.

If I unmerge xmms-cdread, xmms-cdaudio goes back to 4 secs. playback, then a hang.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xmms-cdaudio
2. play audiocd
3.

Actual Results:  
xmms hangs

Expected Results:  
work.

Maybe there should be a dependency between the two since I also could not play a
cd without both xmms-cdread and xmms-cdaudio. Wonder why? Probably had something
to do with splitting off all the plugins. Bet something was missed there. JM2C

I can't reproduce this bug. If you still have this issue it would be great if you come up with a patch to fix it.
