[xine bug] Seeking in Amarok using mousewheel rewinds to start of song

Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

When I use the mousewheel over the progress bar, Amarok's progress bar will sometimes jump to the beginning of the song and then to the intended position. Then, if I seek while it's at zero, it will seek the track relative to zero. I have to wait (sometimes up to two seconds) until the progress bar jumps to current time in the song to be able to seek properly again. This usually happens when I spin the mousewheel rapidly (like to skip a portion in a DJ mix).

I should add that this happens in Kubuntu/feisty. This has also happened in dapper and edgy.

I've noticed that this does happen when playing from a CD, but for audio files on my hard drive it's not a problem. What was the audio source for these songs you're playing?

Well if it's internet radio I'm surprised you were able to seek much at all. Whenever I use the "Cool-Streams" I don't get any seek ability. What station are you listening to?

 Hard-drive.

I don't know why milosz chimed in there. ;)

Not particularly. I'm using amarok 1.4.5-0ubuntu2~edgy1 and don't have this problem. I can skip around in songs based on my hard drive just fine.

What format are these files in? What media engine are you using? What specific package of amarok are you using? (`apt-cache policy amarok`)

I'm using 1.4.5-0ubuntu6. All tested files are mp3s. I'm using the xine engine with autodetected output plugin.

I'm sorry, I can't confirm what's going on here with two different computers. Maybe your CPU is underpowered or the mp3 files are on a slow hard drive? Other than that I'm out of ideas.

xine is known not to always seek correctly. Hopefully the new xine fixes this.

Latest gutsy seems to have fixed this. I tried to seek like a madman and amarok didn't rewind to 0. Thanks, Sarah!
