Summary0000292: Opening file while current song is still playing freezes song.
Description

When a song is playing, and a new file is opened from the file menu, the one currently playing will repeat that last few milliseconds over and over until the other file is completely loaded. It locks up longer when VST instruments are being loaded that weren't in any other songs in the current session.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Have a song open and instruments being used.
  2. Click play
  3. File > Open and choose any song
  4. Frozen
Additional Information

The songs that are being opened are accessed from a different drive.

I think this can be fixed by automatically pausing the song on open and once it is finished loading, continue playing the song.

TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?Yes
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

And the bug here is...? I wouldn't really consider "Audio thread is starving from CPU and can't serve new audio" a bug.

By the way, it depends on the sound driver if the audio begins to repeat or simply drop out when there's a buffer underrun.

In the case of dropouts caused by plugins being loaded, this has been addressed now: http://sagagames.de/stuff/mptrack.exe - Any other delays caused by e.g. a slow hard disk causing the CPU to starve cannot be fixed, sadly.
