           Summary: FLAC playback cuts short
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.36
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: don't know
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: samuel at seenet.ca
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


When playing certain files, playback abruptly and prematurely ceases at a
position apparently specific to the file. This appears to be an issue with
playback of only a small portion of the song; if I use a player capable of
seeking and seek to past the point of failure, playback continues normally. I
initially noticed this problem with Quot Libet, but can consistently reproduce
it in Totem so I'm led to believe it's GStreamer that has the problem, and not
the consuming application.

Neither of the aforementioned applications present any errors (to stderr,
internal error log, or as a popup message) when encountering the issue, and
simply continue to the next song in the playlist. Additionally, `flac -t
"$file"` does not report any issues with affected files, and both `flac -dc
"$file" | aplay` and `ffplay "$file"` correctly play affected files.

Attached is an example case, of which playback ceases at approximately 0:02, so
you don't have to listen too far in to notice it. I've only seen the problem
with FLAC files, but the vast majority of files in my library are FLAC, so it
may not be a problem with FLAC exclusively.

This may or may not be related to #150513. The submitter of that issue notes
that the event occurred for him at a different position in the song every time;
that is not the case for me – I see it happen at the same position every time.
