[vlc] latest release

[Bob Spafford]

Dear folks,
I just updated to your latest release (1.1.6), and I am sorry to say 
that a bug has appeared with the update.  When listening to an internet 
radio stream, several times a day, a sound appears for about a second.  
It sounds like the last few milliseconds of programming are repeated at 
a rate of about 100 per second.  The sound amplitude is not louder than 
the programming on the stream.  The glitch appears on several different 
different radio streams so is unlikely to be a glitch at the broadcast 
source.  The problem is not reproducible.  The problem is not so 
annoying that I will abandon using VLC.  I thought that if you got 
enough mail telling you about this, someone might conclude that the 
latest build of VLC has a problem.

One problem that is reproducible is that re-playing a track causes what 
sounds like a brief (perhaps 300 millisecond) burst similar to what is 
described above.  It noise sounds like the last few milliseconds of what 
was being played, repeated once.  It only appears after pausing playback 
(of an MP3 track), moving the playback  pointer back to the beginning, 
and hitting play.  As above, the problem is not so annoying that I set 
out to find a replacement media player.

I really appreciate you making VLC available to us all.  It is clearly 
the work of many dedicated people doing good for the world.  Thank you 
for making your fine work available to all.
