Binary package hint: amarok
Bug could be in amarok-xine, which is the output plugin I'm using. For description, see KDE bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127652. My comment #10 (edited for clarity!) copied below, to save following the link:
As per default behaviour on inserting an audio CD into a machine running Kubuntu 7.04 (the popup appears and I press "amarok", since that's the only player presented, the other options being for ripping etc.), I use amarok to play CDs directly via cdda:/, using xine engine for output. Even after setting fadeout to 0, there is a significant gap (close to a second, even?) between tracks, which renders live recordings, or anything requiring continuity, very unpleasant to listen to.
I'm very happy to play CDs via CDDA, since I get better quality that way (decent sound card, not so decent D/A on the CD drive!), but not when the player inserts gaps in the audio stream! As well as the gap before the track starts after the previous one finishes, there's a very short pause / glitch after maybe a couple of seconds.
Standard Kubuntu 7.04 packages, amarok (and 'amarok-xine') version 2:1.4.5-0ubuntu7.
Should I report a bug here, even though I've already found a bug in an upstream database? If not, apologies.
Hi there!
Thank you for reporting that bug William. It should be reported here even though it exists upstream.
