Bug 90462 – xmms-sndfile plays much too fast

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Martin von Gagern 2005-04-26 00:25:27 UTC]

When I play some simple wav file, it plays at about 50 times notmal speed. I only hear bits and pieces, like when fast forwarding an audio CD. aplay works fine on them, and ogg or mp3 work fine in xmms. With aRts output, the slider bar is much too fast as well, with OSS the slider moves only a few pixels before the next track begins.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open wav file
2. Play

Actual Results:  
Sound much too fast.

Expected Results:  
Sound played at normal speed

[Comment 1 Matteo Guglielmi 2005-08-03 14:35:49 UTC]

I have the same problem!!!

Only wav files are played very fast with this output plugins:
esound 1.2.10
oss driver 1.2.10

Whit "alsa 1.2.10" output plugin wav files are not played at all!!!!

MP3s are played fine with all the previous plugins.

I forgot to say this:

It seems that the mixer controls doesn't work with any .wav or .mp3 files too.

[Comment 3 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-10-30 10:36:32 UTC]

This happens with early versions of xmms ?

[Comment 4 Martin von Gagern 2005-10-31 12:16:20 UTC]

(in reply to comment #3)

This happens with the latest xmms in portage:
media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r15 -3dnow +alsa +arts -directfb +esd +flac -jack +lirc
+mad +mikmod +mmx +mp3 +nls +oss +sndfile +vorbis
media-plugins/xmms-sndfile-1.2

As xmms-1.2.10-r14 is the only previous version available in the portage tree, I
can't tell if this happens with older versions as well. I just compiled xmms
with sndfile on another machine as well, one that is running stable x86. Same
result.

[Comment 5 Martin von Gagern 2005-10-31 12:41:28 UTC]

I just emerged xmms-wav. Only after disabling the sndfile plugin could I play a
wav file. So this again confirms that this is indeed a xmms-sndfile bug.

[Comment 6 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-01-11 16:50:58 UTC]

I'll try to add a patch to fix this issue.

[Comment 7 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-08-17 18:08:44 UTC]

no time to build a patch for it now. If someone want's to patch it please do it until then i will close this.
