I ran into a problem with foo_abx 1.3 (IIRC) under 0.9.3.1 on XP SP2
last night. I was unable to find this issue mentioned elsewhere on
this forum or on google. I hope this is the correct forum.
After a random number of source switches, foo_abx started to behave as
if the file lengths had become 0:00. When clicking on A, B, X, or Y,
the position slider bar would jump to 0, the status would say
"playing" (or something like that) and then it would stop almost
instantaneously. I checked for sufficient disc space and that the two
temporary wav files were created ok.
I then ran the ABX comparator under 0.8.? on the same machine without
a problem.
I'd be happy to work with someone to isolate this further, but though
it showed up every time I tried foo_abx/0.9.3, it was not predictable.
It could happen the first source switch or the nth, and it didn't seem
to depend on other settings in the comparator. I spent quite some time
looking for a pattern that I could use to reproduce the problem.
