Subject: audacious corrupts its configuration files

Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 11:38:32 +0100

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: serious

I started up audacious from the commane line. I realised that I had
not backgrounded it as I normally do, so hit ctrl-z to suspend. When I
backgrounded it using "bg", it seemed to start as normal but the sound
quality was horrific. As I had headphones, it was actually painful:
massive amounts of clipping.

Looking at the config file afterwards, I can see that it had changed
one of the settings:

saved_volume=25700

to

saved_volume=65535

I've seen this happen a couple of times now, but I can't reproduce it
at will which would suggest there is a timing problem involved.

Finally: why is it trying to change settings at startup?

thanks

Audacious 2.x is more resilient to this sort of thing. Please see if it
still happens with Audacious 2.

I started having the same problem recently when I switched to a new
output plugin: the volume would be saved incorrectly, and set to 100% on
startup. I still don't know why it was saved as 100%, but as Steve
pointed out, the system volume should not be saved and restored on
startup at all.
