[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#939052: mpd: Stuttering after about 4 to 5 second or longer pause.

[Michel]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.21.13-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading mpd from 0.21.5-3 to 0.21.13-1. Noticed that, when a
track is paused for at least about 4 to 5 seconds or longer, about split
second to about a second after un-pausing a track get a stutter that
does not reoccur unless the track is paused again for about 4 to 5
seconds or longer.


Looked at ~/.mpd/log does show the following:

Aug 31 11:08 : alsa_output: Decoder is too slow; playing silence to avoid xrun

each time a stutter happens.


After downgrading mpd from 0.21.13-1 back to 0.21.5-3, the stuttering
after about 4 to 5 second or longer pause is gone. And ~/.mpd/log no
longer shows those xrun messages.

I wonder if this is fixed in 0.21.14?

ver 0.21.14 (2019/08/21)
* player
- fix seek position after restarting the decoder


Thank You.
