Description Raff 2006-11-01 10:23:58 CET
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.5 (like Gecko) (Debian)
Build Identifier: 

I changed the system time via the date command from the console and noticed that the currently playing mp3 was stopped.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xfmedia and let it play an mp3 track.
2. Open a terminal window and change the system time (as root) by a few minutes. I was setting the clock back by 4 minutes because my hardware clock is a little fast.
Actual Results:  
The currently playing mp3 is stopped.

Expected Results:  
Changing the system time should not influence playback.

My System:
Dell Latitude CPx
Debian Etch
xfce 4.3.99.1
xfmedia 0.9.1 (unknown rev)

I'm pretty sure that's a xine-lib problem, so I don't think I can help here.  Likely it is using gettimeofday() as a timing source on your system, and is getting confused when the time changes like that.

You are right, I repeated the test with another xine client and the behaviour was the same. I am setting this bug to invalid. Thanks for looking into it!

If it's still bothering you, feel free to report the bug over at xine's tracker, http://sf.net/projects/xine/.  Not sure what their reaction will be, but might be worth a try.
