-----
Detailed description:
I have different file formats in my music library (MP3, OGG Vorbis and FLAC).
I have noticed that Amarok seems to stop playback after playing certain albums
or tracks. I found out that this behaviour is triggerd during a transtition
from one format to another. When I let Amarok continue to play, it does not
stop playback, but you cannot hear anything and the status indicators don't
change, after a few minutes it continues somewhere in the middle of the album
(another track but the same format) at which beginning the playback stopped.
I first noticed this behaviour in 12.04. I had no such issues with
10.10, which used the now deprecated xine backend.
Selected Phonon Backend: phonon-backend-gstreamer
Transition where playback seems to stop:
Vorbis -> FLAC
FLAC (24bit/48kHz) -> FLAC (16bit/44.1kHz)
FLAC (16bit/44.1kHz) -> FLAC (24bit/48kHz)
Transition where playback continues as expected:
MP3 -> FLAC, Vorbis
FLAC, Vorbis -> MP3
FLAC -> Vorbis
