Description

Hi,

I just noticed this yesterday, that cross fade doesn't work on my system, and strangely if the cross fade duration is set to some non-zero value, Jajuk plays only alternate files in the play list. Its like the sound is set to zero for every alternative file.

Regards Varun

I cannot reproduce. I for one always use cross fading without any problem so far. I'm not sure to understand the problem, do you mean one track over 2 is muted ?

Is it 100% reproduced by you ? if so, could you please debug the MPlayerPlayerImpl, FIFO and Player classes (I can assist you on this if required as it's a bit tricky)

Hi Bertrand,

I was able to fix this problem by using -ao alsa additional arguments to mplayer. Actually, I was not able to play two audio files simultaneously using mplayer. I had to pass additional arguments -ao alsa to make it work.

Could you please consider adding this also to the options currently displayed. I am also thinking of setting this as a default argument for the Debian package because somebody reported a similar problem sometime back but I didn't know that it was related to cross fade.

Regards Varun

Nice to hear you solved this issue ! Not sure if it's a good idea to force alsa under linux boxes. Are you sure ao=alsa would work on all configuration, those who uses esd and those who use arts ? for now, we adviced users to use ao=esd under gnome and ao=arts for KDE users.

I tried looking online but there doesn't seem to be any fixed solution for this. Basically dmix should be enabled in the sound server (alsa).. so it can work using ao=esd or ao=arts or ao=alsa.

So, I guess it would be better to add this option also.
