[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#493074: xfmedia: clicks and goes silent for periods while playing WAV files

[Daniel Dickinson]

Package: xfmedia
Version: 0.9.2-5
Severity: important


xfmedia is useless for playing WAV files because during playback xfmedia frequently introduces a click then period of silence, then click play, click silence, so you miss portions of the sound file.  As I use wav files for my voice messaging system, I miss things like phone numbers using xfmedia.  vlc works fine.  It could be because I am using pulseaudio; does xfmedia have an esd or pulseaudio plugin?  If not and it's using native alsa output that could be the problem.

Regards,

Daniel
