I traded a few emails over Audacious and it seems as though it sports a new

How do you report problems to the authors, if they won't listen?


  


Not the best is it? I had quite a collection of fiddly problems with 
Audacious a while back after XMMS was retired from FreeBSD[1], and 
switched to using (g)mplayer instead. It is not as flexible as XMMS... 
but its sound quality is better I think!


[1] I use Gentoo on a server, FreeBSD as workstation

After your post I tried the lastest ~x86 of Audacious; no crashes after 2
days. You've
recompiled Audacious after updating any underlying dependencies? Maybe the
media
you are playing is at the core of the problem?

Show them exactly how you are reproducing the problems and how they can
reproduce the
same. I was unable to reproduce the problems based on what you have
described above. If
the authors can't reproduce, then there is no way they'll be able to fix
anything.



 I'm currently using XMMS-1.2.11. It works perfectly... even streams from
 gnump3d without errors.

 Anyone know why this goes on?
