Thank you for your tests, Ryan! Since the old build server has been shut down I never got any feedback about my modifications on other platforms than Linux.

SoundSourceSndFile is responsible for decoding WAV files. The file is analyzed correctly and plays without any issues on Fedora 21 x86_64 with libsndfile 1.0.25 installed.

Playing AAC/M4A files through the SoundSourceMediaFoundation plugin would be an additional test especially for Windows. I wonder if this class still compiles? The same applies to SoundSourceCoreAudio on OS X. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I've found 2 potential issues while testing this branch on Windows.

1) Other media players can play this file: http://www.kozco.com/tech/organfinale.wav (linked from http://www.kozco.com/tech/soundtests.html) Mixxx will load and analyze this file but playback is silent. The waveform is empty also, as you would expect from a silent track. Note that this also happens with the master branch of Mixxx.

2) I ran auto-DJ for 16+ hours and then tried to close Mixxx, but it hung (for at least an hour before I noticed and killed it). The last message in the debug output was either "Deleting HSS1394 devices" or "Deleting HID devices". I guess I should have written it down. The gdb did not give me a backtrace so I will have to figure that out before I try to reproduce it. I don't know if this one also happens in the master branch.

    Hi,

    Who has a Mac build environment and some spare time to run similar test?

        Hi Ryan,

        cool, thank you very much.

        The new features an fixes provided by the branch are roughly:
        (@Uwe please correct me)

        * floating point sample interface
        * no clamping to 1.0 after decoding
        * Better stream error handling
        * high resolution mp3 decoding (32 bit fixed point)
        * Better tagging issue handling

        The branch offers some new unit test. You should run them first
        (mixxx-test.exe)
        It is probably the best to find you own test cases, to have
        finally a good overall test coverage.

        The seek error effects only some VBR mp3 files. You can test it by
        jumping forward and backward to the file and check if the
        Waveform allays matches the sound output.

        My test on Linux was like that:
        * create a new library (rename mixxxdb.sqlite)
        * Start Mixxx in a debugger
        * Mass analyse all tracks
        * Play AutoDJ in random mode
        * Watch out for crashes, sound distortion and tagging issues.

        This runs very long and with only some result results. After two
        days, I have stopped that and tested only
        abnormal mp3s found in my collection by an mp3 checking tool.
        I have actually found some files where Mixxx 1.11 plays the
        embedded picture where Uwes Branch just reject the faulty file.

        Finally I have tested some files found on the web of the formats
        that are supported by Mixxx but not in my library.

        Kind regards,

        Daniel

            I can build on Windows and probably test the branch, depending
            on what is meant by "test the branch". If it's just running
            auto-DJ for a few days I can do that, although my audio
            collection is very homogeneous - almost all mp3s, mostly from
            Amazon and a few from Traxsource. If someone could provide
            more details and/or audio files I think I could test more
            effectively. Let me know.
