Description
version: english build: daily jan 22, w32
I got cracks in the music, at least when its compressed to MP3. This bug is not always present, but nearly (see save state). Even if its not only happening on fading it could be similar with #1635361.
And no, setting the sdl audiodriver to waveout does not help ;-)
thx for your work

What version of the tools did you use? What version of lame? Did you try encoding the files again? And on what kind system are you working?

I guess I used the tools bundled with scummvm 0.8x Lame version 3.96, but the files seem to be ok, it doesn't crack when i play them under windows I did not try to encode them again since there was no error printing during encoding process Windows xp with sp2 installed, can not try it under linux right now
By the way, I've ran the tools without any params

"it doesn't crack when i play them under windows" -- I am confused, where are you playing them then? From your report I had the impression you were experiencing the problem under Windows ?!?

Sorry, I meant the compressed files don't have cracks when I play them in an audio player, at least the one I can access (not in a container file).
I've played the game for a while now and it seems that the problem is occuring less times than I thought. Even if there was no error printing during encoding process I'll try it again, gimme some days.

Here's the result... Not Compressed: No cracks Vorbis compressed: No cracks MP3 compressed: Cracks!
This time I used Lame 3.97 and the ScummVM tools bundled with build "Jan 22". No params were used.
Phew, that were 2 hours of work :-( How come the vorbis files are larger than the mp3? I thought vorbis has got the better compression?

Neither Ogg Vorbis nor MP3 have "better compression" per se. Just think about it for a sec: You can select a bitrate -- two MP3s of the same song can have very different sizes if one is encoded at 64kbit/s and the other at 192kbit/s. Other options affect this, further. So, asking which format "uses less space" is not quite accurate as such (as for both, you can choose this!). The "correct" question would be: "Which format will produce higher quality results for a given fixed bitrate, used by both codecs during the comparision".
So in this case, it's probably just that our tools use a higher default bitrate for Ogg Vorbis than for MP3 (which in turn is likely caused by different default bitrate settings in the relevant encoders).
As for the cracks: Still quite odd. All I can say at this point is that it works fine for me, and apparently for many other people, too. So right now I have no good idea what might be causing your troubles :-/.

I am still confused by your statement, BeerDeer. How exactly are you able to play those files in an audio player? Given that the COMI datafiles (and their compressed variants) are in a proprietary file format?
Maybe you have some ScummVM supported game which makes use of audio tracks. If so, do you get cracks there, too? Testing with them would be easier, since these for these games we use straight .mp3/.flac/.ogg files.
