Description

Platform: Ubuntu 11.10 (amd64)
Audacious ver. 3.1.2 (compiled from source)

When streaming .flac files from a cifs share on my local network, I'm experiencing seemingly random sound cuts when using the pulseaudio output plugin. Note that this problem does NOT occur when using the Alsa output plugin and that affecting different buffer values does not seem to produce any notable/positive effect - although this looks like a buffer overrun.

(sorry if this is a duplicate but I found no recent mention of this - although I've found old mention of it)

#1 Updated by Mathieu Beliveau almost 13 years ago

Just tested on 3.2 (from source) and the issue still applies.

#2 Updated by John Lindgren almost 13 years ago

Just on a hunch I looked at the source of the PulseAudio plugin and found that it ignores the buffer size setting. Probably it is simply using too small a buffer.

Hi,

I had some time to quickly check the pulse_audio plugin source today and I added the pa_buffer_attr structure with proper parameters for allowing the server to set a buffer matching the value set in the UI. So far, it seems to have corrected the sound cuts and is consistent with the buffer values from within Audacious.

Note that the attached diff file is from Audacious 3.2 sources; hoping it'll be of some use.

Thanks!
