This is particularly annoying because it also affects applications that burn audio CDs like GnomeBaker or Serpentine. They often don't allow you to burn a CD because the total duration well exceeds the space available on the medium due to the miscalculations caused by this bug.
Thus I can confirm this on my iMac G5 (with an updated Feisty Fawn). Also affects other applications like Exaile! and Totem. I'd raise this bug importance if possible. However, note that Amarok also does guess the duration of the same multimedia files incorrectly, so I think it's NOT the reported issue indeed (Amarok uses Xine as a backend). It could be a GStreamer _encoding_ problem, though, since I always use SoundJuicer to extract audio tracks from my CDs. If so, it could either amount for a bug in GStreamer, or in SoundJuicer. Probably affects upstream (when you can identify the package in which this bug occurs), because I can see this also on my Gentoo GNU/Linux box since a couple of months or so. -- Gstreamer returns wrong total time in audio tracks https://launchpad.net/bugs/85371 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
