| This is a list of known "issues" in the current Rockbox. |
| |
| These are flaws/bugs we know of that are not likely to be fixed within a |
| reasonable time so we list them here and close the bug tracker entries for |
| them. |
| |
| FS#894 - When the complete playlist fits in the mpeg buffer, and the playlist |
| is played multiple times, the tracks are reloaded from disk multiple times |
| instead of loaded only once. |
| |
| FS#2147 - It's a bug in the MAS. It starts bitshifting data on occasion. High |
| load on the MAS makes this behaviour more likely (high recording level, high |
| quality setting, high sample rate). It's impossible to avoid, but there are |
| plans to implement a recording 'framewalker' that checks recorded data and |
| restarts recording when the MAS starts delivering bitshifted data. |
| |
| FS#4937 - A constant rhythmic ticking noise occurs in the right |
| channel. Believed to be related to our slow I2C implementation, and occurs |
| when the battery status and/or realtime clock are updated (the battery is |
| read at up-to 2.5hz and the clock at up-to 1hz). Nothing is going to change |
| with it until someone spends a lot of time analyzing the portalplayer's I2C |
| control registers, or finds a datasheet for the damned thing. |
| |
| FS#5796 - Early encoders such as this one employed a floor of type '0', as |
| opposed to the more efficient/cheaper floor type '1' which has been used in |
| all encoders from libvorbis 1.0 onwards, I believe. |
| |
| The problem appears to be that most DAP decoders can only handle a floor of |
| type '1'. |
| |
| While floor '0' type files like mine are, it turns out, pretty rare, they |
| still conform to the standards, as can be seen in the documention linked |
| below: |
| |
| http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/Vorbis_I_spec.pdf |
| |
| which specifically states that "Floor 0 is not to be considered |
| deprecated..." |
| |
| Files like these require quite a bit of memory to decode, more than what |
| Rockbox has set aside for the purpose. Adding a real malloc for the codecs |
| might help... |
| |
| FS#6411 - Resuming a playlist after having deleted one or more files makes |
| the resume point end up on the wrong song. |
