bpa, the deadlock fix, moving flushSamples() out of the synch block. I think there is the situation here that rather than deadlock, toState == FLUSH, line is re-started in flushsamples() so the next time play() is called (when advancing a track) it will return (without changing toState) as the

You could be right. It is 2 yrs since I did the testing and I cannot remember details. I did a lot of testing of various scenarios on single and multi core system both Windows and Linux and ffwd a track is an obvious scenario that I think I ought to have tested it but I cannot be sure. However

There is still an issue in 3.9b2, whereby the AudioMixer thread calls playSamples(). It's blocked writing to the line because in the meantime, AudioMixer.flush() has been called and stopped the line. So the Proto thread that called flush is stuck forever on the wait() while (inState != PAUSE).
