[Bug 110086] Amarok inserts a gap between tracks during CD playback

[William Gallafent]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Bug could be in amarok-xine, which is the output plugin I'm using. For
description, see KDE bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127652. My
comment #10 (edited for clarity!) copied below, to save following the
link:

As per default behaviour on inserting an audio CD into a machine running Kubuntu 7.04 (the popup appears and I press "amarok", since that's the only player presented, the other options being for ripping etc.), I use amarok to play CDs directly via cdda:/, using xine engine for output. Even after setting fadeout to 0, there is a significant gap (close to a second, even?) between tracks, which renders live recordings, or anything requiring continuity, very unpleasant to listen to. 
 
I'm very happy to play CDs via CDDA, since I get better quality that way (decent sound card, not so decent D/A on the CD drive!), but not when the player inserts gaps in the audio stream! As well as the gap before the track starts after the previous one finishes, there's a very short pause / glitch after maybe a couple of seconds. 
 
Standard Kubuntu 7.04 packages, amarok (and 'amarok-xine') version 2:1.4.5-0ubuntu7. 
 
Should I report a bug here, even though I've already found a bug in an upstream database? If not, apologies.
