Bug Description

Mixxx 1.11.0 is running on a 64bit windows 7 machine with i5 processor, using the basic master out config with windows direct sound. (I don't know any more)

Program working fine until without any obvious cause, the deck that was going to be used (1 or 2) fails to load the mp3. The player instead displays in small red writing "loading" on the bottom left. The effect player is then non responsive. All other players are not effected and will load & play the mp3, and all the other mp3s contained in the library.

This is not my machine so am unable to eliminate possible causes directly. I have however witnessed it happen twice. The machine was also running antivirus, plus spybot. Dont know if that will effect?

The audio library is also pointed to a removable flash drive. (this was never removed)

Hope this helps to take mixxx to perfection - as ever awesome work. Thank you and congrats to everybody involved!

Marked as 'Invalid', because various MP3 decoding and playback issues have been fixed in 2.1 with the introduction of the new SoundSource API. This bug report is also incomplete.

Most audio decoders have been improved or rewritten for Mixxx 2.1. I assume that all those issues caused by legacy code are fixed now.
