Q: I have PulseAudio, and I have playback problems (noise, distortion, wrong speed, no sound, etc) A: Disable PulseAudio A: Try to use OSS as pulseaudio backend -- Q: I don't get it. Yes, indeed I have PulseAudio, but in Deadbeef I select ALSA output, and I get playback problems. A: PulseAudio tricks applications by providing ALSA-plugin that routes sound from application to PulseAudio via ALSA API. -- Q: Is it planned to support PulseAudio natively? A: Yes. -- Q: Occasionally I get following error: "alsa: snd_pcm_writei error=-32, Broken pipe". Is it bad? A: Ignore it. -- Q: Is it planned to support multiple playlists and EQ? A: Yes -- Q: Is it planned to make Windows and/or OSX ports? A: No -- Q: Playlist, settings, etc are not saved if I kill X session, shut down or restart computer, etc A: That is not fixed yet. But it is work in progress. Please don't bother me with that unless you have a patch that fixes it. -- Q: Deadbeef takes too much CPU% when playing mp3/ogg/flac. A: Try to reduce SRC quality in preferences window A: Try to check "Use software ALSA resampling" box A: See the PulseAudio questions above -- Q: Deadbeef takes too much CPU% when playing APE files. A: That's normal. Consider switching to wavpack or flac. -- Q: I have 50 ideas about what features must be added to the player!!!111oneone. Can i become idea-generator of the project, so that I tell, and developers do what I ask for? A: No -- Q: How do I make GDB backtrace after crash or hang? A: Ensure that you have unstripped binary. Most packages are stripped. So you'll have to build yourself in most cases, if you haven't done so already. Simply doing "./configure && make && sudo make install" is sufficient, but it's better to add export CFLAGS="-O0 -g". 1. install GDB 2. run "gdb deadbeef", and execute "r" command in GDB shell 3. reproduce a crash, or press ctrl+c in GDB after hang occurs 4. execute "thread 1" command, followed by "bt" command in GDB 5. repeat for at least 5 threads: thread 2 bt, and so on 6. now, you can copy the output starting after 1st "bt" command into email/pastebin/textfile, etc.
