i'm back

Ok, I'm looking into why audio makes clipping noises as you move the 
slider around in the My music menu and just randomnly on it's own.  I 
cant figure what is going on with it because it happpens across all 
audio output plugins and across different audio input plugins.  It 
doesn't matter if i change the audio output priority or if i play with 
the polling timers for alsa output.   I've made this my new project to 
fix.  Zinf is primarily a audio player before anything else so this is 
an important problem that other people have reported.   I'd like to get 
some reports from other people who have this problem.

Does it happen across all audio outputs?
Does it happen with different format files?
What kernel do you use?
What soundcard and what if any difference in the effect do you see 
changing audio outputs / inputs?

Thanks ...  I also suggest developers start compiling zinf in gcc 3.2 
with strict warning options so we can further clean the code.

Why does the zinf src include all that libs?

Hi!

I was just wondering why the zinf source code contains all those
libraries, that could be linked easily in from the system (at least on
UN*X systems, that is), resulting in all those nice advantages of
using shared libraries.

I would like to propose to do configure checks wether to use the lib
installed in the system (if headers & .so are available), or the
version in the zinf sources.

I volunteer for helping here, i'd only like to know which libraries
are in there (zlib, gdbm are the ones i know, but there are probably
others) and if they were modified.

Regards, Andy (ZINF Debian maintainer)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it's ide drive activity.
If it's what I'm seeing, I see it a lot when I load a new page from
the web. I think it's when it is being saved to the cache, which is
why I suspect drive activity. Also, it may be worsened if you're
running on the ragged edge of ram, I've only got 256MB of ram, and
am running 178MB into the swap.

Tom.

Sigh...My last patch

DON'T use that last patch I posted for corrupt OGG files.   While it does seem to fix the problem, it has several
awful side effects.  It really is annoying me now...

If you just tuned in, the problem is that sometimes, OGG files are reported as corrupt (or crashes occur in
the Vorbis libraries) even when the file itself is fine.  I believe it's a race condition between the
LocalFileInput, the pullbuffer and the Vorbis LMC.  Though I now see it sometimes on MP3 files as well...

Re: Sigh...My last patch

Well, luckily i was moving at the time and never did get around to 
committing it.  Would have forgotten i didn't if you didn't remind me. 
But hopefully a fix can be made to the patch so that it does what it's 
supposed to do without creating more problems.   Personally i dont use 
id3 tags at all and couldn't care less if they were just totally ignored 
but a bunch of people do.

Re: Debian bug 159367

This is fixed in CVS.

I'm thinking about basing the next zinf debian package on CVS. Is this
a good idea? I also have a problem with CVS: how do i create a tarball
from the CVS source? 'make dist' doesn't work... :-/

distro binary packaging is one of the things on the "omg can someone fix 
this" list.  Both redhat and debian people scream and yell about how 
ugly it is but i've yet to see any cleanup patches submitted or clear 
directions on what needs to be fixed

I don't quite understand - I justed wanted to knwo how i can obtain a
*source* tarball from the checked out CVS sources. Packages using
automake have a make dist, which creates a source tarball.
