I have some more information on a problem I've seen with clementine. The problem manifests itself after the clementine application has been running for a long time (days or weeks). Basically: Playing of an mp3 file (on hard disk) begins to stop and resume (with typical silent times of several seconds). This behavior quickly becomes worse and worse - merely annoying at first but quickly progressing to totally unusable. Examination of the "buffer full" percentage at the bottom of the window shows it dropping to zero (or a low value) and, then, starting to increase. The increase is NOT monotonic. The buffer percentage will increase to some value and suddenly drop to a significantly lower value (without playing any music). This may happen several times before music resumes (temporarily). There is very little competing CPU or hard disk activity from other applications at the time. There is no way to explain the length of time to fill the buffer in terms of CPU or disk competition or slowness. Sometimes the buffer drops all the way to zero from a rather high value before the music is resumed. Closing and restarting the clementine application stops this behavior (until a week or so later). This implies (to me) that the buffer status memory locations get irreversibly corrupted after clementine has been running a few days. Perhaps there is an overflow condition which is improperly handles or, maybe, an unsigned int/signed int mixup.
