Bug Description
Binary package hint: vlc
when playing streaming mp3's like:
vlc 'http://
the sound chirps and dropsout while logging:
mdb:319, lastbuf:257 skiping granule 0
mdb:319, lastbuf:257 skiping granule 0
mdb:470, lastbuf:410 skiping granule 0

mdb:416, lastbuf:392 skiping granule 0
bits_left=-3
mdb:455, lastbuf:431 skiping granule 0
These messages originate from ffmpeg imho.
No problems with audio when playing movies (not shure they use ffmpeg).
gxine 'http://
also produces same audio.
It looks like the chirps are also visible in the 'visualisation' modes of vlc and totem-gstreamer.
The problem also occurs with libmad.
When a stream is captured with mplayer -streamdump and later the stream is played, the chirps are also present.
When i capture the stream with curl, and play the stream the problem does not occur.
So the most likely cause is the Icy-Metadata in the stream:

Very dirty fix:
After manually corrupting the 'Icy-MetaData: 1' string in /usr/bin/mplayer the sound is as expected.

totem-gstreamer produces same audio, but no logging output.

in my case the fix doesn't help vlc (allthough all 3 files are present and contain icy-metadata wich is altered by sed to Xcy-metadata).
I've never had any problem with mplayer or totem-audio-preview (mouse over) or with gst-launch
I came here from bug #223650 which seems as a dupe

Nick, are you sure you have a problem with streaming audio? The fix is only for streaming audio, not for playing from disk.

Sorry everyone -- this is not my bug, my problem is with mp3's from the disk

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
