[Gwc-general] XSyncBadCounter when encoding mp3

[Geoff <cap...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have been using gwc 0-21-03 happily for the last week in
conjunction with audacity.

I had been doing mp3 encoding under audacity, but decided
to try gwc's capabilities.

I divided a wav into 4 tracks using "mark songs". 
Encoding appeared to succeed but no file was output to the
target directory.

I therefore ran gwc from a terminal, which produces this
output on encoding:

-----------------------------------------

MP3 preset is 4
The program 'gwc' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'XSyncBadCounter'.
(Details: serial 27659 error_code 129 request_code 132
minor_code 6) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are
reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the
error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run
it with the --sync command line option to change this
behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your
debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x6c3d)!
Xlib:unexpected async reply (sequence 0x6c43)!
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x6d8b)!
Xlib:unexpected async reply (sequence 0x7f8f)!

-----------------------------------------------

This error is entirely reproducible.  Once it has occurred
almost anything else I do with the program produces :

Xlib: sequence lost (0x101f4 > 0x101d6) in reply type 0x5

Further "unexpected async" reply errors then occur and
eventually gwc aborts - for example if I try to encode
another track.

I tried encoding one long track rather than dividing a wav
into sections, but this time the program just hung and had
to be killed.

I am on an smp box (2 x 1ghz PIII), running Xfree86 4.3.0
(getting a little old now), under the icewm WM ..... I
don't run gnome.  Maybe the problem is with my setup.

Geoff
