Public bug reported: Playing an audio cd with mplayer is impossible, depsite of the cache size. Audio begin skipping as soon as cache becomes empty, and it will.
Here is what happens: mplayer cdda:// -noconfig all -identify -cdrom-device /dev/sr1 -cache 4096 -cache-min 99 (after a while) Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue] Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue] Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue] Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue] Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance issue] ..and audio begin skipping. Steps to reproduce: I tried this on two different cd readers. * Play a (real) audio cd with mplayer, use a cache big as you want (but lower than the file size of course). * Download mplayer pkgbuild and add: --disable-cdparanoia * add libcdio to the deps. * make and install the package. Play the same cd with (or even with the smallest cache: -cache 32 -cache-min 0) and see that it works flawlessly.
