as results are very different from kernel, I think
that kernel is the
problem: after some trials I Have reverted to
2.6.27-3.fc10.i686 and
Rhytmbox has played for an hour then crashed...VLC
refuses to play
same stream. Just to clarify my meaning, I am not satisfied with
multimedia (and
things have not improved) in rawhide, sometimes I
think the problem is
that you have pulseaudio, Rhythmbox from rawhide,
codecs from other
parts, and there is no clear technical responsibility
of which package
is involved, at least for me that I am a very
low-level tester: from
the tester's point of view, it is difficult to
file a bug (against
what??)....also problem is well known. And when you show a Fedora system to a friend of
yours, multimedia is
important to check the quality of any OS (in many case
more than
network management and so on...)
Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
kernel 2.6.27.2-23.rc1.fc10.i686 is bad as many other recent kernel, with reference to multimedia.....my system is fully updated with reference also to RPMFusion. VLC plays bad, Rhythmbox is suffering from many interruptions....
And still Multimedia is becoming important in the choice of an OP, shall I revert to Bill after eight years of RH/Fedora???? and rawhide is not as raw as someone thinks, official release is not very far......

If you compile say mplayer from source does it make a difference? I don't appear to have trouble playing multimedia files. I have xine and mplayer compiled from source. Don't give up on Fedora yet, report bugs complain and complain and if this does not make a difference(Nobody listens, answers to your bug reports), then you can go to Bill's software(OS).

Antonio

i have reverted to 2.6.27-0.370.rc8.fc10.i686 and issues have disappeared (not sure, but at least Rhythmbox plays fine..for the time being): I am reverting also to the laptop to same kernel.....I will not file any other bug !!! sorry..as you know situation on multimedia is poor(sound speed is well known, isn't it?) , especially if you have an Intel chips, as I have both on desktop and laptop. What is wrong between 2.6.27-0.370.rc8.fc10 and following kernels is out of my skill, I am an humble tester(FHC=Fedora humble tester), not a IT guru... :-(.

and also VLC seems to be playing fine....
-- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
grabbed latest kernel from koij and always same issues!!!! 2.6.27.3-27.rc1.fc10.i686. Music is too fast so buffer becomes empty in Rhythmbox (radio streaming). Bug already filed. I wonder when this problem will be solved.....for the time being at the moment I will revert to older kernels, then I will see...... For your reference see http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_2dabf29b-bd26-4825-b7ed-ac1db85fec24

Can somebody explain what is going on?? I run a test with pulseaudio -vvv and started Rhythmbox: when I got the buffer underrun in hythmbox I stopped the test....and this is the output...:If you look at the end of output you will see some rewinds and memblocks.Is this the problem???
