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?
Thank you!

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.
