Pause & resume causes A/V desync
Posted: 14 May 2012 19:24
Hi!
When I pause a video file, the sound sometimes takes half a second longer to pause than the video does, leading to A/V desyncing when resuming.
This issue is observed in both the official (v2.0.1) Linux version of VLC (using Pulseaudio as the audio backend and using Xv with the open-source r600g driver as the video frontend) and the unofficial experimental Android version (from git). In the latter I can press the rewind button once to go back exactly 10s which oddly causes A/V to get back in sync. On the Linux version, no such fix can be done and the only way to resync audio and video is to stop & restart the video file.
The problem has been verified to occur sporadically in both mkv and avi (xvid) files. I don't use any other formats so I didn't test any.
Before I file a bug report, do you know of any local way I might be able to fix the problem? i.e. is it possible that this problem is not a bug but just me being an idiot?
Thanks!
