I was getting glitchy audio from the VLC which installed through the GUI from Ubuntu (8.0.4 on PPC G4 867MHz Powerbook), so I compiled 0.9.8a without any problems

% vlc -v
VLC media player 0.9.8a Grishenko
[00000001] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - version 0.9.8a Grishenko - (c) 1996-2008 the VideoLAN team
[00000001] main libvlc debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure '--disable-live555'

However, I still get the glitchy audio playback. There are occasional crackles and very very short gaps in the sound.

It goes without saying that I tried all the relevant audio driver output modules (alsa and oss are semi functional). It also doesn't seem to matter what the input source is (MP3 or WAV both give the problem). I also ran strace to see if system calls were interrupting playback but that didn't show up anything.

Does anyone else get this?

cheers,
Bob.

Sorry, not exactly a newb, but I should have provided some more verbose debugging output:

are you running pulse-audio ? If yes try to disable it or try -A pulse

Also could you try with local mp3 rather than a network stream to rule out any network problem

Hello, i've got the same problem, only on mp3 audio files (i tested only mp3 and wav files).
With vlc -v2 i saw in the initialization that vlc create a thread with priority 22 (that is less than default priority for user space threads), can it be a cause of the problem?

PowerBook G4 1.5GHz, 1.25GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.5.6

Has anyone managed to solve this issue? I'm having similar problems with vlc 1.1.3 on debian squeeze PPC (although I had the same issue when I tried 1.1.12 version). I can see some audio resampling going on there (see the log), and I'm not sure why this is happening and if that could be the culprit. Any suggestions are welcome. I'd be happy to apply any patches to help troubleshoot the issue.

My hardware:
Mac Mini G4
graphics: ATI Radeon 9200
audio: TerraTec Electronic GmbH Aureon Dual USB

My software:
Debian squeeze 6.0.3 PPC
Kernel 2.6.32-5-powerpc
vlc 1.1.3

VLC output (when ran with -vv)

This problem is often caused by broken audio drivers. Try vlc --aout-rate 48000.

Remi,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Pavle.
