[Vorbis-dev] Sound glitch when using libvorbisfile and libao
Hi there, I've been grappling with this for some time, so I'm finally breaking down and trying this list. I'm trying to integrate libvorbisfile and libao to create a simple sound file player, a la ogg123. To do this, I borrowed heavily from ao_example.c and vorbisfile_example.c. I feed the buffer from ov_read into ao_play in a simple loop. It usually works, but occasionally all it does is make a strange sound and quickly finishes. I cannot dependably reproduce it. The same problem does not happen when I use ogg123, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I've combed through the ogg123 source code and couldn't figure it out. I'm wondering if someone can look at my code and tell me if there's something I overlooked. http://pastie.org/10239629 (Debian Jessie, libvorbisfile 1.3.4, libao-1.1.0) Thanks, Marshall -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How can this problem be reproduced? If you have an specific .ogg file that gives problems it would be helpful to have them so we can try to reproduce them. Kind regards, Gunter.

[Vorbis-dev] Sound glitch when using libvorbisfile and libao
Hi Gunter, Thank you for your quick response. As I mentioned in the email, I cannot dependably reproduce it. It comes and goes, and I just have to wait for it to come up before I can try to debug it. I've found it tends to happen when I've been taxing my sound driver, but this isn't consistent either. My inability to consistently reproduce this has made it a nasty bug for me to investigate. I was hoping that something would be immediately obvious in my code to those who know these libraries very well. I have the feeling it has something to do with buffering. If I decode the Ogg Vorbis file and dump it into a raw file, and then read it in again and feed it to ao_play, the problem goes away. I have a simple Ogg Vorbis file I am using for testing, which I sent to you in a private email. I have no server space on which to store it.
