Subject: Bug#160155: gapless playback

Package: xmms-flac
Version: 1.0.3-3
Severity: wishlist

As flac is capable of gapless playback it would be groovy if the
plugin supported it.  I hear audible loss when switching between
tracks, sometimes the last second of a track is simply not played
before the next track starts.  I'm using the OSS sound drivers
(msndpin) but I don't think thats the problem.  This only happens with
xmms, if I use 'flac -c -d -fr -fl file1.flac file2.flac > /dev/dsp'
to play two files that should seemlessly flow from one track to the
next it works just fine.  (and no, I don't have any of that cross-fade
plugin stuff installed.)  For sample tracks that should seemlessly
transition you can grab the wav tracks 3 - 5 of "Boom!" from
http://audible.transient.net/garmonbozia - flac them and have a
listen.

Jamie,
I hear what you're saying.  I don't believe this *should* be
a plugin's responsibility, though it sounds like with XMMS it is.
But I don't know how to fix it.  Probably with enough archaeology
into the XMMS source and other plugins I could find out.  I'll file
it in the feature requests and hope someone can get to it.

Default OSS output plugin reopens sound device between songs, so it
can't be used for gapless playback. But there is for example
xmms-crossfade output plugin ('crossfade/transition type' option set
to 'none (gapless/off)') and it plays perfectly.
