Comment #3 on issue 39964 by berger.max: mp3 and m4a file playback broken
on chrome/linux/ambd64
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=39964

With unstable:
5.0.366.2 (Offizieller Build 43280) dev

The sound plays correctly, pause/play work, the time display works. Tested
with
multiple audio files, both html5 and directly.

However: The progress bar is still stuck in the middle, and any attempt to
move it
shows that the "middle" of the song is 50 secs.

As I don't care about the progress bar (just playing is the important part)
this
works for me.

Please note that this bug still applies to ALL files played through HTML5
or clicked
on directly on Linux/AMD64 (not related to the web page, this was just an
example). It
works perfectly on windows.

Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit works, both thru a webpage, and directly as a file in
the omnibox.
The only issue I observed is 96 KHz audio does not work on Linux, but does
work on
Windows.

What do you mean by "works"? In my case, I observed the following:
- Sound plays now (as written above)
- Progress bar stuck at 50 secs (as written above)
- no "ending" event is fired (as written in a different bug report)

Could you try running the URL through http://iheartvideo.appspot.com ?

It's a site I'm working on to help debug such issues.

On the following URL:
http://oss.bramosystems.com/bst-player/demo/showcase/media/o-
na-som.mp3 [this is a a shorter test sound, but as said this applies to all
media]:

progress bar is stuck in the middle, any attempt to move it results in
chromium
trying to move to 50 sec. Time display works, sound plays, but ending event
is not
fired.

direct play without moving the progress bar: [see fulllog]

Comment #12 on issue 39964 by berger.max: mp3 and m4a file playback broken
on chrome/linux/ambd64
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=39964

I can even tell you without testing that this is an UI issue - I have a
code which
wrapps the audio element into its own ui, and the progressbar and seeking
works fine
there (uses the javascript events and methods).

Here is the test you suggested:
---

timeupdate (currentTime=20)
canplaythrough (currentTime=20)
canplay (currentTime=20)
seeked (currentTime=20)
seeking (currentTime=20)
suspend (currentTime=0)
canplaythrough (currentTime=0)
canplay (currentTime=0)
loadeddata (currentTime=0)
loadedmetadata (currentTime=0)
durationchange (currentTime=0)
suspend (currentTime=0)
loadstart (currentTime=0)
emptied (currentTime=0)
timeupdate (currentTime=0)
---
Progressbar did jump to the right place, and it looks perfect - until I
hit "play",
then the progress bar goes back to the middle of the song, and any seeking
via mouse
produces the same result as above

note on your above comment: the issue number does not have any comments
about "ended"
event.

To complicate things: I only have access to this machine until wednesday,
but I am
willing to do any tests until then.

Comment #13 on issue 39964 by berger.max: mp3 and m4a file playback broken
on chrome/linux/ambd64
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=39964

Still present in current version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like
Gecko)
Chrome/5.0.375.23 Safari/533.4
- progress bar stuck in the middle
- any attempt to click on the progress bar sets it to 50 secs

fixed:
ended event is now fired.

-> wrapping this into my own GUI now works as expected.

Since I have to give up the machine today, I can provide no further
information on
this bug.

I also have the following:

And this is not only for mp3, but for any other files. Try to open the
video from my previous comment in Chromium.
