KDE unable to play complete K3B .wav files
Here is an oddity I've noticed for a while. When K3B finishes buring a
CD it plays a sound file, k3b_success1.wav, which is a trumpet of several
seconds. Lately I've only heard the first note or two. After a bit of
checking here is what I've found:
In System Settings configure notification (also from the same menu in
configure K3B) only the first note is played.
In Dolphin clicking on k3b_success1.wav launches gnome-mplayer and the
entire file is played.
Also in Dolphin with k3b_success1.wav highlighted clicking the play
button in the far right hand pane plays the first three notes.
In Audacity, k3b_success1.wav plays in its entirety. Looking at the
waveform shows no reason to why it should be truncated by KDE.
As an experiment I converted the three .wav files included with the
k3b-data~all.deb package to .ogg format (which match the KDE files
included in /usr/share/shounds) and they play fine. I am running an up
to date Sid installation with K3B 1.91.0-rc2-1 and KDE 4.4.
