Bug #466
MUS Music skips on loop
Start date:

Description
- When a MUS file reaches the end of the song and loops back to the beginning there is a slight pause. (as if it is reloaded into memory?) There should be a seamless loop.
- This works in Doomsday version 1.8.6, tried the same WAD on three different systems. It also skips with the original music in DOOM/DOOM2 IWAD. Don't know about Heretic/Hexen.
- vanilla doom - no addons.

Sorry for my confusing report. The bug occurs in Doomsday 1.9.0-beta5.1 bot NOT in Doomsday 1.8.6

You are absolutely correct in that the pause is caused by the fact that every time the MIDI is played, it is (re)converted to MUS and then (re)loaded into memory.
We'll address this when we do the (much needed) audio overhaul.

Now that the conversion is handled within the engine and only occurs when the current song changes this should now be fixed in svn for 1.9.0-beta6.
