I have a sound recording program I wrote several years ago to record from the soundcard to a raw binary file. This works fine with my old Soundblaster16 on 4.4-Stable. On my laptop, with an ESS-Maestro3, I seem to be missing samples. The recorded file is higher in pitch than the original recording, contains "clicks" and records longer than the requested time; IE, if you ask for a 10 second duration, you get 14 or 15 seconds duration. Since the program counts duration by calculating how many samples it needs to get from the sound card at the requested scan rate, it sounds like it is not able to read the samples at the requested rate, therefore it takes longer and compresses the recording, time-wise, making the pitch higher. I tried this same thing with 'gramofile' from ports and it does the same . I also have an issue with the Multimedia player, Noatun... Noatun seems to run OK playing mp3 files, but does not always show the running time. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes a particular instance of Noatun starts out working properly and then, after playing a few mp3s, the clock goes to 00:00:00 and does not count. -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
