little bug in buffer length

the display of the track names in the status bar or in the windows taskbar (just everywhere were the track name is displayed) switches to fast to the next track if you run a playlist. the changing is too fast just like the selected the buffer length in the direct sound setting. if you select 3000ms the display switches 3 seconds before the next track starts for example

the remaining time display seems to be wrong too

take 2 tracks which fade into each other for testing or set the buffer length to 8000
then you'll see what I mean

known "problem", IMO fixing it is really not worth the mess.

unless the machine playing your music is 5 year old and you are throwing it against a wall, directsound + 400ms buffer should be fine, and the problem is hardly noticeable with such settings.

on my machine it should be no problem but i got some really old machines also were i would like to run foobar2k, because it's very small and doesn't need much system resources.

well it was just a suggestion to fix it. it's your software and you decide what you do with it.
