when I run xmms, on some mp3s, at the end, the last tenth of a second is repeated a multiple of 7 times (usually 14 times, but sometimes 7, 21, or 28). Many other programs display a similar problem, lletters is the simplest program I could find that consistantly shows the issue, it repeats every ~.5 second exactly 7 times all the way through. When I run strace lletters, while it is repeating, the last line I get is: write(8, "\177\177\177\177~~\177\177\177\177~~\177\177\177\177\177"..., 4096 and when it jumps to the next section and begins repeating, it prints: ) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) ioctl(8, SNDCTL_DSP_GETOPTR, 0x804d168) = 0 [TIME: 00:00:00]) = 17]", 17 read(7, "\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177"..., 4096) = 4096 write(8, "\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177"..., 4096) = 4096 (it repeats the ioctl, read, write pattern 7 times successfully before the next EIO) I installed libc6-dbg, compiled lletters and ran export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/debug ; gdb ./lletters while it is repeating, it is indeed inside __libc_write(), but the list command does not work, even after getting the source to libc6-dbg, unpacking the sub-files and addi ng every sub-directory with the dir command in gdb. (gdb says: 0x40441404 in __libc_write () at __libc_write:-1 -1 __libc_write: No such file or directory. ) If I set a breakpoint at play_file and next through the execution, it does not repeat in the middle and only sometimes at the end, when it calls __libc_close (like xmms does except it always repeats 7 times if it happens)
that's where I'm stuck. Have I obviously screwed something up? If not, how do I get the list command to work while i'm in libc6? Or is there a better plan of attack?
