foobar2000 stops the playback randomly
Hello, I would like to report a bug I am experiencing since a recent PulseAudio update. As the title says, foobar2000 stops the playback randomly (it doesn't matter what the song file type is or what time it is currently playing at) I've checked the foobar console and found:
Foobar console: Error: Pulseaudio: connection failed: Connection terminated
Since that message doens't provide enough information (except for the fact pulseaudio is involved) I decided to check the PA console log when the bug occurs:
W: [pulseaudio] pstream.c: Received memblock frame with invalid seek mode.
Of course I'm not sure if it is right to report this as a foo_out_pulse bug since it started happening after a PA update (I'm at 14.2 at this moment) but I want to at least know if someone else is experiencing this issue.
Thanks for this awesome plugin!
Just started noticing this recently myself.
System config:
- Arch Linux
- Zen kernel v5.12.10
- FB2k v1.6.6 via AUR
- Wine v6.10
- Pulseaudio v14.2
Update: I noticed this happening FAR more often when playing 96KHz/24bit 6-channel audio, which leads me to suspect that a TCP throughput limitation could be causing the issue. After adding the SSRC resampler set to 48kHz (the sample rate used by my USB DAC, and the default sample rate for my PA configuration), I was able to play 280 seconds of audio (up from 14 seconds) before playback stopped.
Curiously, my pulseaudio log shows the following:

This is probably not the best workaround but when I reduced the buffer length to 50 ms this issue disappeared completely.
when I reduced the buffer length to 50 ms this issue disappeared completely.
FB2k's buffer or PA's?
Not sure how that fixed it, but I just listened to over an hour of audio (some multichannel, some stereo) and it hasn't stopped once. Thanks for the tip!
A little follow-up about the issue: I just migrated completely to pipewire and I'm using this plugin thanks to pipewire-pulse and by configuring the tcp port in /etc/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf. The good news is that this issue doesn't happen with this configuration, it's not even necessary to use the previous workaround, it works as before the PA update.
I'm hesitant to switch to Pipewire since my DAC required a really specific PA configuration to work right, and I really don't feel like repeating that process in an unfamiliar framework. I'll definitely be snapshotting my drive before attempting anything.
yeah, while pipewire-pulse tries to be compatible with pulseaudio I'd guess not all features are available so it's understandable to be way of it but I mentioned it because it's a nice alternative that works with this plugin, which honestly I find it really awesome :P
I've also switched to PipeWire and created ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/foobar2000.conf containing:
pulse.properties = {
server.address = [
"unix:native" # needed for normal operation
"tcp:127.0.0.1:4713" # for foo_out_pulse
]
}
By a twist of fate, my SSD died recently so I'll be rebuilding my system "from scratch", so I've been handed the perfect opportunity to see how much of a bother it is to get my DAC working under Pipewire.
