I know this is 5.1-rush right now, but I'd still like to share this somewhere since I think it's pretty important in order to get 5.x stable. I'm having problems playing mp3s correctly using XMMS. Usually, after a fresh boot I can play music properly, but it still sounds slow (kind of hard to tell though). During *and* after massive I/O (mozilla scratching, major compilation, etc), the audio gets garbled as a bonus. This problem is widely documented in the -current archives: Thread "Adjustig pcm buffersize|: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D359907+0+/usr/local/www/db/te= xt/2003/freebsd-current/20030420.freebsd-current In particular, this message: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D558987+0+/usr/local/www/db/te= xt/2003/freebsd-current/20030420.freebsd-current =2E.. puts out a clear listing of the possible causes, altough I don't know the internals enough to tell wether it makes sense. :) The thread "playing mp3s while burning a cd", very rich in many different users similar experiences: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D177274+0+/usr/local/www/db/te= xt/2003/freebsd-current/20030330.freebsd-current What I think is that this should get a place in the "Desired features for 5.2-RELEASE" listing. Maybe it's gonna resolve by itself as the "Must resolve issues" get hacked through, but I still think it's a good thing to double-check. But if it's too much hassle, no sweat. It's not like I'm going to forget. I switched from a P166 to a Duron 1Gz for my workstation and I expect to be able to play mp3s without skipping, to say the least. :) Thanks, A. --=20 Nothing incites to money-crimes like great poverty or great wealth. - Mark Twain --St7VIuEGZ6dlpu13 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+2luhttcWHAnWiGcRAnhWAJ9p1xUBzAjb6BLMjcastJFflGPzgQCdGy3f TcxJ2xBkuaCESKs+prLe4L4= =cNdx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --St7VIuEGZ6dlpu13--
