[MPlayer-users] MPlayer shows warning message while playing mp3

[zhouzy at os.pku.edu.cn]

Hi all,

It seems latest mplayer switches from mp3lib to ffmp3 as the default mp3
decoder. I have two questions about this:

1) Today when playing one mp3 file, mplayer continuously shows warning
messages even if I use -really-quiet. Compiled with MinGW GCC 4.4.1,
running on WinXP.

cmdline: mplayer xxx.mp3 -really-quiet

[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -3 -3
    Last message repeated 1 times
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -2 -2
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -6 enddists: -5 -5
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -4 -4
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -3 -3
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -2 -2
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -3 -3
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -6 enddists: -4 -4
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -2 -2
    Last message repeated 2 times
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -4 enddists: -1 -1
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -4 -4
[mp3 @ 0x2994e00]overread, skip -5 enddists: -2 -2

I will upload the sample if needed.

2) It seems mp3lib is much faster than ffmp3. Tested on a Core2 E6750 OC
3.2G:
cmdline: mplayer -benchmark xxx.mp3 -ao:pcm:fast:file=NUL -ac mp3

BENCHMARKs: VC:   0.000s VO:   0.000s A:   1.087s Sys:   0.008s =    1.095s
BENCHMARK%: VC:  0.0000% VO:  0.0000% A: 99.2694% Sys:  0.7306% = 100.0000%

cmdline: mplayer -benchmark xxx.mp3 -ao:pcm:fast:file=NUL -ac ffmp3

BENCHMARKs: VC:   0.000s VO:   0.000s A:   2.188s Sys:   0.009s =    2.197s
BENCHMARK%: VC:  0.0000% VO:  0.0000% A: 99.5904% Sys:  0.4096% = 100.0000%

Any good reason to drop mp3lib?
