On Ubuntu, Are you seeing an mplayer error while
playing mp3 files inside LiveCode?

LiveCode 7.0.2 (RC1) in Ubuntu launch mplayer
to play sounds and videos.
As soon a video or audio stops playing, LiveCode
shuts down mplayer, except after playing MP3 media.

Everytime that I play a MP3 file using:

play vc mymp3file.mp3

mplayer open and play the sound, but
after checking Task Manager, mplayer
is still open. This only happen after
playing mp3 files.

Are you seeing this error while playing mp3 files
on Ubuntu using LiveCode?

I haven't tried that specific recipe, but I rarely have good results with multimedia playback in LC, even as all the other playback tools I use in Ubuntu perform marvelously, often handling more formats more gracefully than Mac's QuickTime.

Related, I just discovered that merely setting the filename of a player object to an MP3 causes LC to hang:

In my dream world every member of the IDE team would be required to spend at least one day each week on Mac, Windows, and Linux, with the remainder spent on whichever system they prefer.

Given that one of the strongest selling points of LiveCode is platform independence, I believe this practice would allow platform-specific issues to be identified and resolved much faster than through any other means.

And given that issues are generally less expensive to fix the earlier in the process they're discovered, this would likely be very cost-effective as well.
