On my system I found an impractical, but reproducible 'fix' for this problem:
1. Open the 'problematic' flac file with totem 2. In totem, start playing the flac by clicking on the play button, making sure you hear the buffer under runs 3. While the flac is playing, in a console and enter 'pulseaudio -kk' 4. A 'pa_stream_writable_size()' error dialog should appear and the sound stops, click ok 5. Then in totem just click on the play icon again, the buffer under runs are gone now, if not, go to step 3 again Note that when the buffer under runs are gone, you can safely seek forward and backward, pause and continue the file. The buffer under runs are completely gone. But then if you either close totem and or open the same flac file again, the buffer under runs are back, but performing step 3 'fixes' it again. I have verified on this system that I can acheive the same using rhythmbox, banshee and totem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732410 Title: flac decoding is broken in some manner for gstreamer -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
