Foobar2000 0.82 & MKA

First of all, sorry for my English, I'm French... I had an original CD. I extracted it in separated files per track (I get the timecode of each chapter). Then I reassemble them into single flac file. I muxed it into a chaptered MKA (with the eventual pb I explained here in French).PROBLEM 1 The more important problem is that Foobar2000 crashes at the end of the last track (defined by the last chapter) when output method is "DirectSound v1/2", and Windows crashes when output method is "Kernel"... It chrashed at the end of the last track: - when playing, - when replaygaining, - when transcoding... I think I know where is the problem: - my original flac file has 138278196 samples (read in Foobar2000 file properties). - my mka file has 138281415 samples (3219 more than the flac). - when I re-extract flac from mka, it has 138278196 samples... So I think when foobar is reading the 3219 virtual samples, it crashes...PROBLEM 2 There's another problem: When I read one track properties (defined by chapters) in the mka, for example, I have 976080 samples, and when I convert it into flac separated file (with flac transport layer), it has 976079 samples, so 1 sample is missing... Not very much, but after that the album is not lossless! I think the problem come from round time chapters (read here in French). - 1/44100 has infinite of numbers after point, so the precision of nanosecond is an approximation...+----+ is a sample | is a chapter WHAT HAPPENS : +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ AUDIO STREAM | | CHAPTERS STREAM ..track1..] [....track2....] [..track3.. after cut WHAT WE WANT TO GET : +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ AUDIO STREAM | | CHAPTERS STREAM ....track1....][...track2....][....track3..... after cut So to resolve the problem, I think Foobar has to consider the approximation of nanosecond, considering the round is by default (6.1 --> 6 ; 6.9 --> 6, not 6.9 --> 7) That would be great if these bugs can be fixed in futures versions Thanks for your work
