No progrees on the issue of MC truncating song when going from wav (1536 kbps) to wav (1411 kbps).  In rev .278 song truncation is equal to size of buffer at all settings.

Guys, this seems like an issue worth going after.  My guess is that MC is simply not caching for a 1536 kbps wave file.

I can't reproduce this.

Could you post more information like:

1) output mode (ASIO, DirectSound, etc.)
2) buffering setting
3) between tracks mode
4) DSPs enabled

Also, try switching the above things to isolate exactly where the problem is.

Thanks jgreen.

Matt--
Thank you for addressing my request.  I'll give you all the info I can, and if it still can't be reproduced, I'll assume the problem's on my end and drop it.

The issue is only going from wav files at 1536 kbps to wav files at 1411 kbps.  All settings of buffer currently cut into the previous (1536) track and start the new(1411) track equal to the buffer setting.

True for both Output modes:  Wave out AND Direct sound.
Switch tracks: gapless
Seek: Gapless
Stop:  Immediate

Just tried it with Switch tracks: Standard (gapped), at settings of .1 sec and 10 sec (in addition to the 5 second buffer.  Track still cut out 5 seconds early, and then observed the appropriate silence, .1 sec and 10 seconds.

As for DSP's, soundcard output is SB Audigy (DC60).
True when equalizer set to custom EQ Or flat eq
FX: Concert Hall/2
Virtual Subwoofer (none)
Surround field: wide
Overflow Handling:  Clip Protection
Replay gain: track based, + fixed adjustment +5dB
Output format:  32-bt/Source/Source  (per your recommendation for DSP headroom).

Thank you for your help, Matt.

Thanks, now it makes sense.

When the audio format changes, we need to close and reopen the soundcard.  We must not be taking the output buffering into account before resetting and reopening the soundcard.

We'll try to fix it next build.  Until then, enable "48khz" in Output Format and the audio format won't change between tracks, side-stepping the problem.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

10-4 your 48kHz, big buddy.  You da man! 
CPU load goes up slightly, but no big deal.  Problemo goes bye-bye.
