Ok, first of all, this is with v3alpha3, and ogg files. So I'm not looking for a fix, but maybe someone has some ideas about what's happening.
Before I turn off the ignition I pause (v3a3 doesn't seem to remember where in an Ogg file payback is at) playback on the empeg. Turn off the ignition, empeg goes into standby for a few seconds. If I leave the empeg in the car and turn the ignition on later the playback is stuttering. None of the controls seem to have any effect.
I have to pull the empeg out and reseat it and then playback is fine. I've downloaded the file and verified it with ogginfo, so it's not a file or container format issue, as the FAQ suggests for mp3 files. This hasn't happened on an mp3 yet, but I've got over 5000 ogg files and maybe a hundred or two mp3s.
The problem has never happened when I've seated the player after the car has started.
Any ideas?
