Package: sound-juicer
Version: 0.5.12-1
Severity: normal

When ripping a CD with a lot of jitter[0], Sound Juicer is anything from 1
to 5 times slower than cdparanoia for some reason (often reading discs
at 0.2x-0.4x when cdparanoia reads the same disc in realtime).

Have tried using the --gst-debug flags to determine whether anything
serious is wrong, but I cannot see anything suspicious[1].

Steps to reproduce:

 1 - Insert disc that has a lot of jitter. See [0].
 2 - Begin extracting.
 3 - Observe how the reading speed always is less than 1.

Machine is a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ with 256 MB RAM, and a Samsung 52x24x52
CD-RW drive. There is no unnecessary swapping. It does not matter what
final format I choose either.

If there is anything I can do further to help determine what the problem
is, please let me know. Thanks.

David

 [0] I consider "a lot of jitter" to be when cdparanoia leaves dashes
     after the arrow, and the status smiley always is a :-|. There are
     no reading errors though. CD is around 10 years old, and plays
     fine in any CD player I have.

 [1] The progress bar in Sound Juicer is updated once every 5 or 6
     seconds. With debug level 5 on, I can see that there is a lot of
     calls to the scheduler for some reason, and occasional calls to
     cdparanoia:src. Perhaps the already low throughput from the
     cdparanoia source is causing a lot of overhead, making everything
     slower?
