Re: lame inserting 0.047 seconds of silence in the beginning of the mp3 file

the "-e" option should be added to the man pages. but really, i have no
desire to convert from mp3 back to wav, so this doesnt help me much...

"so your problem is solved by decoding externally for now and in the long
term have audacity use libmpg123 (or do the needed work themselves on top
of libmad, but I'd prefere them switching;-)."

i killed pulse and then looped the mp3 with mpg123, with just ALSA by
itself and it looped perfectly =)
to kill pulse i did this:
shell$ /usr/bin/pulseaudio -k

ubuntu 11.10's default sound setup with pulse was the culprit!

maybe something to inform users about on the lame homepage...

thanks for the help thomas ;)

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
