Skogkatt: Clicks when starting playback
Matt:
--- Quote from: Skogkatt on November 05, 2011, 10:26:13 am ---I am almost convinced that MC is doing what it is supposed to do and does it properly. However, although not causing it directly, MC could help circumventing the problem by implementing the simple measure I've proposed earlier and my reasoning is simple: if clicks are proportional to intensity of sound before stop is pressed, allowing through an option to stream a user selectable duration of silence just after stop button is pressed should eliminate the problem before it is generated. :)

Good idea.
The ASIO in this test plugin post-rolls silence on stop:
http://files.jriver.com/temp/out_main.dll
Replace the copy in your MC\Plugins folder and see if it helps. Again, it only changes ASIO so don't test WASAPI.
Let us know what you find.
Skogkatt:
Matt,
thanks, unfortunately the new dll gives me an error (C000005) as soon I try to play anything, crashing MC.
The "playback options" panel is completely empty. Tried rebooting and/or downloading again the dll but that didn't
solve the problem. Renaming back the old dll (I replaced the old one renaming it out_main_old) MC restarted and
works as usual (even without rebooting Windows).
Sorry, I can't determine if the downloaded file is corrupted but just noticed that size differs if compared to the regular
one: 1152KB vs. 1151KB (as reported by Windows).
Matt:
I was afraid of that. It requires a newer version of the core than is publicly available.
Install this build, then replace the output plugin (this build is not recommended for the general public, as it has a few bugs we're working on):

Skogkatt:
Matt,
it works a treat!!! Seriously, no clicks whatsoever: now it behaves as it should (or, as I always hoped)!
Many thanks!!!
Matt:
Could you test this build:

I switched the amount of silence to a smaller amount (hardware latency + 30%). If it's sufficient, I don't think we even need to make this optional -- ASIO could always output that much silence on stop.
Thanks.
