[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#679889: mpd: MPD 0.17 + MAD decoder = noise only with MP3s

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.17.1
Followup-For: Bug #679889

Unfortunately I can reproduce this bug in all detail. I suggest to mark
this bug release critical, because it renders the package unusable for
some users.

Here is the log output produced during "mpc play":

Jul 14 11:39 : client: [1] process command "play"
Jul 14 11:39 : alsa: opened hw:0,0 type=HW
Jul 14 11:39 : alsa: format=S16_LE (Signed 16 bit Little Endian)
Jul 14 11:39 : alsa: buffer: size=16..16384 time=333..341334
Jul 14 11:39 : alsa: period: size=8..8192 time=166..170667
Jul 14 11:39 : alsa: default period_time = buffer_time/4 = 341333/4 = 85333

Jul 14 11:39 : client: command_process_list: command returned 0
Jul 14 11:39 : client: command_process_list: process command "currentsong"
Jul 14 11:39 : client: command_process_list: command returned 0
Jul 14 11:39 : client: [1] process command list returned 0
Jul 14 11:39 : client: [1] closed

Since the other reporter used pulse and I use alsa we can assume that
this issue really is output-independent. His analysis and pointing to
the decoder seems to be correct.

Is there anything I can do to help triage this issue?
