Re: [SoX-users] Click sound at the end of play-out

[Chris B. <ch...@cn...>]

Its not a bug I'm aware of. It could be a SoX bug but in my experience 
its usually an ALSA bug.

Do you have any other data points to help pinpoint it? Did it work on in 
SoX pre-14.0.0? Do other ALSA audio programs not have the problem? What 
is your sound driver?

I guess SoX team should at least check with ALSA team... I'm not aware 
of any requirements to send a complete buffer (padded with silence) even 
on the last buffer. Maybe the ALSA driver is playing random data from 
previous buffers to make up for it.

If you like, write a bug report on SoX's bug tracker.
