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