hello!
I use flac 1.0.2 with xmms 1.2.5 . The problem appears when I use the
scroll bar to listen a few second forward in the song ("seek to ...").
Then xmms does'nt react and stops playing music for a few seconds.
After these few second xmms works fine again and plays the song. The
length of these pause is longer when I want to listen near the end of
the song; its shorter when I want to listen near the beginning of the
song.
Is this a problem in the plugin?

I'm still not totally satisfied with the speed of the seek routine in libFLAC yet. but, if you encoded with the default seek table, it should not be that slow, even if the file is really big. the only thing I can think of is that the file has wide swings in the bitrate that make searching for the right frame harder.

hi. hmm, for example: xmms needed 85 seconds to seek near the end of a 5:51 minute track (CD quality). I use an Intel 700Mhz CPU. not a 386SX ;-) What do you think? Jan On Tuesday, 15.

ok, I tried a few songs and it seems to me, that the seek problem appears only with some songs. Also I have songs where is no problem. Josh, should I mail you a problematic song? Jan On Tuesday, 15.
