I've recently been digitizing my music collection and I'm using audacious to play it. While using audacious I've noticed 2 issues with the alsa output plugin: 1) The last buffersize seconds of a song are not played 2) Its locking is wrong, together with a recent rawhide pulseaudio update this causes audacious to hang at the beginning of a song once every while (quite often on one of my systems, less often on another) I've written 2 patches fixing this, you can find these in this upstream ticket: http://redmine.atheme.org/issues/show/60
Ok, so I've been testing this some more and my second patch attached to: http://redmine.atheme.org/issues/show/60 Had some issues, I've filed a new set of patches here: http://redmine.atheme.org/issues/show/61 However those are against the 2.0 mercurial tree. I initially developed them against 1.5.1, so I'll attach the original versions here. Please apply these do the Fedora package, without them when using the alsa output with the latest pulse alsa plugin (which is the default setup). audacious often hangs (on my system). The locking in the alsa output plugin without this patch is non existent, and that while there are separate reader / writer threads both manipulating the rd / wr indexes of a fifo.

Created attachment 343644 [details] alsa output plugin: allow usage of last byte of thread buffer
