Description Andy Grundman 2008-10-22 11:20:43 UTC

A second or so of static is output at the end of each ALAC file.  Other transcoded formats may also be affected.  Reproduced on a Mac.

Comment 1 sjf1 2008-10-22 12:31:34 UTC

The static is about five seconds.

Comment 2 sjf1 2008-10-22 13:13:51 UTC

Hardware is mac with OS/X 10.5.5

Comment 3 Alan Young 2008-10-22 13:21:48 UTC

What build/version of SC 7,3 please?

Comment 4 sjf1 2008-10-22 13:27:04 UTC

It was the version available Sunday evening and then replaced by the one available on Monday evening.  Same problem on both versions.  I have since backed it out and gone back to 7.2.1 so don't have the specific build/version number.

Comment 5 Andy Grundman 2008-10-22 13:30:52 UTC

I hear the problem with trunk.

Comment 6 sjf1 2008-10-22 13:33:10 UTC

I guess I don't know what "trunk" means here.

Comment 7 Patrick Ferdig 2008-10-22 15:20:46 UTC

having same issue on 7.3 Linux nightlies for last couple of weeks.

Comment 8 Robert Koechl 2008-10-27 12:19:48 UTC

Same problem for me. I am using Linux and the latest 7.3 nightlies. Had this problem since I changed to the beta version.

Comment 9 Robert Koechl 2008-10-27 12:40:54 UTC

By the way, it doesn't seem to happen after every file?
My files are apple lossless encoded.
If I have some time I will try and find out if it happens reproducibly after some files and not others or if it is a random event.

Comment 10 Alan Young 2008-10-29 23:16:35 UTC

Fixed in change 23722 although it is not clear why it fails with transcoding when reading from stdin.

Comment 11 James Richardson 2008-12-15 12:08:34 UTC

This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.0 release version of SqueezeCenter!

Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already.  

If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.

Comment 12 Martin Rosenkranz 2009-01-29 17:22:38 UTC

I am still having exactly the problem described in this log with the official release (downloaded some time in January 2009), i.e., loud statics at the end of ALAC files.

I am running Squeezecenter 7.3 on Ubuntu 8.04 server.

Reduce number of active targets for SC
