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.
