You do not follow my instructions...

Look at the attached video, this is how it should look when you start foobar and you have some albums in the playlist.
The player will display the Playlist panel on startup, no top menu panel buttons are active.

Then you just move the mouse to the Playlist top bar like in the video.
As you see, the text hides when the mouse leaves the top bar, this is the playlist manager text button auto-hide feature.
You can also disable the auto-hide feature as shown in the video. There is nothing more to it, it is just that simple.

If nothing is selected ( i.e on foobar startup ) it will show the total track length of the entire playlist,
if you select few tracks it will calculate the selected tracks total length and if you select all ( CTRL + A )
it will show again the total tracks length.

P.S If one of the top menu panel buttons are active ( Details, Library, Biography, Lyrics ),
you click on the active button again to return to the Playlist panel. These panel buttons can be toggled.

Thanks a lot for your effort!  I think that indeed the approach you chose is the best that can be done without turning things upside down and potentially introducing all sorts of nasty surprises!

Locally, I already have a version that omits the 8-bit special case, building on top of your patch :-)

Happy to hear you also see things working correctly. I initially created routines that converted the read PCM data to float directly, but all the gapless length handling is based on sizes and would have needed fixes everywhere. So I just patched the original on-the-fly floatification. I forgot about unifying the 8-bit case in the excitement.

To lighten things up a bit.. I'm sitting in the last row of the auditorium watching the two of you on stage. Even if I did a software tester course, I would move forward one row at most and the podium would still be far away. Someone is sort of "pulling the solutions out of their sleeve"..
Anyway, apologies to RealNetworks, such a wrong.. i didn't realize that this is a recent issue, hence i would mention an older version of Helix with functional downsampling instead of taking inspiration from Lame.
