Re: [Zinf-devel] _the_ tentative deadlock fix patch _

[Ed S. <ed....@wm...>]

correction: ogg lmc workarounds weren't sufficient. When track 
forwarding or reversing very fast over ogg files you can deadlock.  The 
mp3 lmc does not have this problem.  Loading files of either type 
(multiple ones) work and so does music search.  I didn't write the ogg 
lmc so i'll be working on that in depth to see what it is lacking that 
the mp3 lmc has.
