I tried the same version of amarok, without rebuilding, with the current master of gstreamer. (gstreamer commit:8140da74ba474d2f218c0c85944c89d6be38e545) (gst-plugin-bad commit:2a3205b294cb881bb1d60ad9bf7c9841031fb2f4) (gst-plugins-base commit:940c9998e5cfffd90fade8a7f39f29a426e20460)
This version seems to work without causing any freezes. It also allows to seek and rewind on said aiff files. As a workaround I decided to remove the gstreamer phonon backend and install the vlc one instead. This problem will probably "solve itself", with the newer gstreamer libraries in the next Ubuntu versions. tl;dr: This is most likely a gstreamer issue, that affects amarok, not an actual bug in amarok itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856745 Title: Amarok freezes while playing music To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/1856745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
