Regarding 1): This (seems) to be a pulseaudio bug. Reducing the buffer size to 500 or less may help. Regarding 2): This is known, upstream work is under way. Please note that ESD does not exist in a real sense any more in fedora, you get pulseaudio. Regarding 3-1): This is true, but is intended, as alsa does not support per-application mixers in hardware Regarding 3-2): Because software mixing occurs before the alsa buffers there is a delay proportional to the buffer size set in audacious. Again, reducing the buffer size will fix this (at least partially) I'm keeping this open because of 1) and 2) Thanks for your explanation.
By reducing buffer size to 500 milliseconds, I can now play music normally
when using PulseAudio or ALSA output.
Hi, I just would like to confirm that I have the same symptoms as the original reporter. I did an update this morning (of audacious & pulseaudio packages) and have the same chopppy playback with pulseaudio here on F8. Not only that...I had pulseaudio as default output plugin. After the update, the default output plugin was changed to ALSA (without my intervention). I'm going to try suggested workaround. HTH, Jorge Hi, I just want to confirm that when choosing PulseAudio as output, the buffer size must be inferior to 900ms otherwise the sound gets cut. This gets really anoying when listeneing to some internet stream because a 900ms buffer is clearly not enough. Same problem when the computer is under heavy load, 900ms is not enough to avoid sound cuttings. *** Bug 441459 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug has been marked as SOLVED in the 1.5.0 of Audacious. I think this was reported here: http://bugzilla.atheme.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146 The reason I'm not sure of this link is because the Audcious' site (and their bugzilla) suffers a database issue at this time, so I couldn't display that bug's page anymore. It was marked as 'SOLVED' few days ago in their bugzilla with Audacious 1.5.0. Regards, Dag This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: I recently updated audacious in my machine to 1.4.5-1. I found the audio output plugin in the latest software were in bad shape now. 1) PulseAudio Output Plugin: music playing is intermittent. now I hear sound in one second and hear nothing in the next second. 2) ESD Output Plugin: when I select this audio plugin in the preference dialog audacious freezes. 3) ALSA Output Plugin: (3-1) hardware mixer mode: music playing works fine. But changing volume in audacious will also affect other audio application in my fedora 8. (3-2) software mixer mode: music playing works fine. however, changing volume has an incredible latency which is about 5 seconds.
