Comment 13 for bug 162470

This is still an issue on 8.10.

Does anyone more knowledgeable about Amarok know whether this can be addressed by just updating a xine dependency?

The current status quo is not a great user experience.

Traffic on xine-devel (http://www.nabble.com/Seeking-in-FLAC-files.-td1892865.html) suggests the xine devs feel the FLAC files themselves are malformed. Unfortunately, they do not care to answer why other players can seek inside them just fine.

I can however confirm that Amarok seeks properly on FLACs once the metaflac workaround described above is used to remove and replace seekpoints.

Either FLACs are not generated properly by default in any ripper we ship, or xine has a bug related to FLAC seeking. We should fix one or the other...
