New problem introduced in MC 10.0.149, possibly related to fixes "2" and "5".
The problem is that in some cases, MC cuts of the end of the last track played (in Playing Now).
The problem exists when using Direct Sound, but not when using Wave Out. The problem increases when the buffering size is increased, and is quite noticeable with a 3 second buffer. The problem only exists when seeking is set to "Standard", not with gapless or smooth seeking. Skip Silence setting has no impact on the problem.
The problem manifests itself when seeking within a track, sometimes a sound dropout happens just after the seek (more than the expected dropout of a fractional second), and this dropout which can be a significant fraction of the buffer size - e.g. one or two seconds for a 3 second buffer - will then be "remembered" by MC until playing stops, and a similar amount of sound is chopped off from the end of the last track.
The problem only manifests itself after seeking (I'm doing it with the mouse) and not every time I seek; however IF the dropout comes after seeking, the sound at the end of the last track will be chopped off, even if the seeking dropout happened in a previous track.
This problem is much less annoying than the problem that was fixed in this release, but it's too much of a coincidence to think that the new problem is not a result of the fix(es).
Thanks.
