That's easy Any Vorb RC3 stream will freeze at about 10 seconds through the file with an input buffer of 16 and output buffer of 32. This happens 100% of the time here. I'm using alsa with oss emu and freeamp is using the OSS output module. Mp3's will also exibit some weirdness with alsa (try stopping a file after hours (overnight) playback will cause the player to freeze but audio to continue being played back until that file is done then it will stop. I believe it stops. It's been a while since I have used freeamp since these problems started). I'm testing with vorbs encoded at -q 5 blah, Yes I know I call them vorbs, I hate "ogg", it sounds so uncool, vorb sounds elite like that. heh. > Ed Sweetman wrote: > > >Since before when I mentioned that Freeamp has problems playing vorbis > >files when using OSS emu in also 0.9x and nobody mentioned having the > >same problem, I thought maybe it was some bad vorbis coding.
