I listened to KQED a bit more and packets were lost and the patch
ensured no garbled audio.
I tested this version of Mplayer on "Listen Again" streams in BBC and
Deutsche Welle and no problems were heard in playback. A point of
concern is that DW "on-demand" (their version of Listen Again) uses a
unusual set of RealAudio parameters which could cause problems if
packet were lost. However if packets were lost there would be garbled
audio.
The change to the patch is simply to comment out/remove the test for
the live stream mime type which is
"strstr(mimet,"x-pn-multirate-realaudio-live")" around line 1446 in
file demux_real.c - this is shown in the code fragment below.
Code:
--------------------
if ( (sh->format == MKTAG('c', 'o', 'o', 'k')) && (version == 5)/* &&
strstr(mimet,"x-pn-multirate-realaudio-live")*/) {
priv->first_pkt = 1;
priv->oddeven = 0;
--------------------
This change does not seem to break existing stations and since it cures
problems with some users/stations I think it should be part of the
patch.
