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.
