pause lag

is there any way of fixing this? possibly in future versions?  even 1000ms is kinda annoying when someone walks in the room and wants to say soemthing, and you hit the buttom and just stare at them till the music goes off.. lol...  or if the phone is ringing.. etc... etc...

if not, i'm not gonna cry and hold my breathe or anything... but it'd be a nice touch

Sorry, I can't reproduce this, using either Kernel Streaming or waveOut on version 0.55.  Pausing works perfectly (immediately) for me.

hmmm.... this is odd, then...

I guess i'll go into more detail on what i'm using...

P2 450, 208mb Ram, M-Audio Sonica, Foobar2k .55 (but its happened in previous versions too)... 

and basically the buffer size = the time you wait after you hit pause till it pauses...      so basically, its just playing whatevers left in the buffer instead of just stopping right when i press it...


i also get loud clicks/pops/static for a second when i change tracks manually...

Switch to WaveOut/DS, try again. If pause doesn't work with waveOut, you've got a driver bug. I think likewise with DS. Honestly, there's few reasons to use Kernel Streaming. It requires enough sense to be able to switch to a different output mode if there are weird things happening. And because it ignores the OS more, weird things happen more.

Also, joeg, are you using the equalizer? That seems to make weird noises when tracks are changed when I tried it last. Not sure if the bug is fixed yet.

just replaygain... nothing else...

i'm gonna give Directsound and wav a shot...  could be a driver thing, seeing how the sonica is a USB soundcard...

yeah, both of those things are only with kernel streaming...    not ds/waveout...  its not the worst thing in the world... but hopefully future drivers will fix that...
