Playback of Musepack SV8 files appears to be broken. The system (IAudio X5V) will consistently freeze at the end of some .mpc files and I have to turn it off using the power button.

Musepack files worked fine with release 3.6 but stopped working sometime between the July 11 and October 16 daily builds (the July one still played MPC files correctly but the October one didn't). I was hoping it was some temporary bug that would be fixed on the newest release but as it turns out it didn't. Are the developers aware of this issue?

No, no one has reported any issues with MPC, and all my test files decode correctly. File a bug report or its probably not getting fixed.

Thanks for the test file. It appears that some MPC SV8 files have trouble on the X5, H100 and H300. Other files work fine, and everything seems to work normally on other targets. Once this is fixed you'll probably want to update to a post 3.7 build.

No problem, thanks for looking into this. I apologise for being lazy and not reporting the bug earlier, it was the first time Rockbox misbehaved since I started using it more than 3 years ago and as such I was confident that someone would notice it and fix it before the next stable release. I'd be happy to help as best as I can.
