Hi.

I have finally been able to get a better look at this problem. Well, here are my findings:

1. It only occures if paused for a longer period of time (some minutes) or after a reboot.
2. It only occures on VBR encoded songs (but even on those with correct VBR headers), just not all the time.
3. It appears to be random to some extend. In other words: I was unable to reproduce it, even with the same song, even at the same position (within 1 second).
4. The timecode display does _not_ count up/down during the first play, it only starts after the player skipped back a few seconds.
   

Especially the last bit really got me puzzled. How on earth is the player playing music without realizing it does? Could this be some leftover buffer in the kernel? But if that is the case, why is it also occuring after reboot, at least sometimes?

cu,
sven
