Could you try to switch to GStreamer backend instead Xine default one? I
was trying to figure out what was wrong but... With GStreamer backend it's
OK.
Hi, Jaroslav. That was one of the first things I did. That got sound
started, but then I had the situation where a track would start to play, then
race on to the end of the track, producing only rapid clicks.
It turned out to be an alsa bug -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514213
The work-around is to edit /etc/pulse/default.pa,
change, ...
load-module module-hal-detect
to
load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0
which kills off the existing pulseaudio daemon so it restarts and reads the
config update.
Since I did that I have listened to amarok-played mp3s for hours on end. HTH
