Linux AudioEngine testers - Linux only
Not sure if this is known (or if its only me) -- I searched trac and the forums and didn't find what I am looking for though I found an old (fixed) bug that was similar but not quite the same.

Whenever (and only when) I experience a buffer underrun event (video pauses and dialog appears in upper right to indicate buffering progress), playback does not recover, becomes choppy (slo-mo) 3.x-4FPS with no audio. The log fills with the following message:
Code:
10:37:00 T:2783955776   DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity - was:2765237553.364334, should be:2764052333.333333, error:-1185220.031000
10:37:01 T:2783955776   ERROR: CDVDAudio::AddPacketsRenderer - timeout adding data to renderer
10:37:01 T:2783955776   ERROR: AddPackets - failed to add leftover bytes to render

Here is a pastebin of my full debug log: http://pastebin.com/x1Pb7X6g

It doesn't matter if playback is using passthrough or pcm, streaming via SMB or from the internet (http/rtmp). Once the underrun occurs, playback does not recover.
