Good afternoon, With xmms-mad enabled as an output plugin in xmms, a number of MP3 files display the incorrect duration in the playlist window. Durations such as 17779:47 for a three minute song are not uncommon. This does not apply to all mp3 files, only some of them. mpeg123 and easytag display the proper duration, so I am assuming that this is a problem with xmms-mad or libmad. Files play normally, although seeking is disabled. Ping me if you need sample files to repro, or additional information regarding my executables/libs (where is the bugzilla file-upload applet?). Thank you for your time, Frank Russo Other info: h2so4 ~ # emerge -s xmms-mad Searching...

I have uploaded a sample file to my comcast account. The link is: http://home.comcast.net/~f.russo/Gentoo-BugID-125022.tar.gz This is a good one because the duration is -23735:-30. This would be expected if it were Huey Louis's song "Back In Time", but is unacceptable otherwise ;-)
go on Option > Preferences > MAD MPEG Decoder Plugin > Configure and switch off "fast playtime calculation" this will solve
Disabling "Fast Playtime Calculation" does not resolve the problem for the sample file provided. The duration shows as "-23735:-30". Tested on the origional machine as well as my work box (Dell 4600 i686). Thank you for your time, Frank Russo
Sample file linked is no longer available (cancled Comcast account, moved to Austria)
xmms and all plugins are now package.masked and will be removed from the tree in one month. WONTFIX.
