7.3 on Vista: tracks play a little longer than in the past.
Last modified: 2009-05-05 22:53:44 UTC
Sys Info: Dell, Optiplex GX 620, Vista Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect the left and right outputs of Ray to the input of sound card on the PC. 2. Install SqueezeCenter-7.3-23612.exe. 3. Start recording while nothing is playing. 4. After recording 5 seconds of silence, play a 10 seconds track while continue recording. 5. After the 10 seconds track is finished, continue to record for another 5 seconds. 6. Notice the 10 seconds sound is about 10.33 to 10.35 seconds long. With previous builds, the sound part was always between 9.9 to 10.1. Most of the time, they were about 9.9999 to 10.02 seconds.
Created attachment 4153 [details] Silence sound silence
Created attachment 4158 [details] Orinal track to be streammed. The wav attachment was the recording of streamming this track, plus silence.
Alan, your comments? Wallace, is this still happening in later nightly builds?
Wallace, I measured the sound length in that wav file and I get 10.016s. It should be exactly 10s, give that you have 80000 samples at 8000 samples/s. I wonder if Sean can explain the discrepency. How are you measuring the generated output? I cannot think of anything in the SC changes that could affect this for an untranscoded file.
Wallace: please verify this issue still happens with the latest build
Bumping to 7.3.1
bugs formerly assigned to Wallace
My view is that this is an artefact of the testing mechanism. My tests reveal no such difference.
