AFAIK, using .wav sound files this problem doesn't occur.

This happens only with .mp3 files with variable bitrate. Cinelerra can't play them back properly: the playback is correct for the first seconds (regardless of where it starts) and then gradually becomes unrelated to time. Seeking is unreliable.

To solve that you can convert to .wav (as Senbee suggests) or, to save disk space, you can create a table of contents (TOC) file to be loaded on the timeline instead of the .mp3 file. To create the TOC file use the following command (adapt it to your case, giving the full path to the .mp3 file first - myfile.mp3 - and then the full path to the TOC file to be created - myfile.toc -):

mpeg3toc -v myfile.mp3 myfile.toc


Did you solve your problem with .wav or .toc?
