I use the built-in MP3 player with flash memory (a separate version of Wordpress Audio Player , to be precise) to play audio on the client’s web page. Given the nature of Flash-based players, AFAIK, they all use libraries to decode Flash audio / video. The exact gaming product may not matter.
She complains that some specific audio files sometimes tend to play slowly, as if on a tape recorder that does not work at full speed. Her car is the 5-year-old Sony Vaio with a 1.5 GHz Pentium M processor, so it is not the top of the line, but it should not have problems decoding anything, not to mention the MP3 audio stream.
I can’t check the problem because we can’t set up the audio connection (slow Internet on the remote island), and I can’t play it on my workstation with the working 3.3 GhZ binary, but this is a person whose error in the past reports were rarely unreasonable so I tend to take them seriously.
I see the differences between the encodings of the MP3 files (see below).
My question is: Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what is the reason? If this is something encoded (which I suspect), can someone give me pointers to which settings to change?
This is what Winamp tells me about a file that is sometimes slow :
MPEG-1 Layer 3
128 Kbit, approx. 966 frames
48000Hz Stereo
CRC: Yes, Copyright: No
This is what Winamp tells me about a file never slow:
Encoder delay: 576, Zero Padding: 1584
MPEG-1 Layer 3
151 Kbit (VBR), 12405 Frames
44100Hz Joint Stereo
CRC: No, Copyright: No
