As of revno 10365 the slides work, and seem to be synchronized with the audio.

Stop and start work for the slides, not for the audio (also seems to cover the problem of the audio starting automatically). Seek doesn't work for either.

At time of ::stop() call, no SoundInputStream is plugged yet
(as sound isn't realized yet) so ::stop() is a no-op.

I guess we may use the PlayHead class in Sound too..

Ah, now I see.
There's a Sound.stop() call.
Then Sound.start(0) is called again when you click the play button.

The sound that starts is:
http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/news/nol/shared/spl/hi/audio_slideshow/kenadamptw/content/audio_hi.mp3

It is loaded using Sound.loadSound(<url>, 1).
Second argument means 'streaming'.
When streaming, the sound starts while being loaded as per documentation. Might need some buffering, but we saw _soundbuftime is set to zero.

Actually:
UNIMPLEMENTED: MovieClip._soundbuftime=[number:0]

.. doesn't seem related to the start then

UNIMPLEMENTED: MovieClip._soundbuftime setting

^^ could be related to the premature start

in Gnash, sound starts immediately on load, with pp it takes an hit of 'play' button for that to happen.

That number was AV_NOPTS_VALUE, now taken as zero (still not correct, but reduces frames container management)

This is interesting:

 DEBUG: 0-to-last element has timestamp 18344262162188942992 > 51878

That's with FFMPEG parsing the mp3.
The firsit timestamp is that huge number:
FFMPEG packet dts:-9223372036854775808, pts:-9223372036854775808

The movie contains traces, traces from pp and gnash don't match.
In Gnash, we get more 'loading ##' traces, pp stops at 6, gnash keeps going, no idea why.
Also, there's a mismatch in order between 'loading 4' and 'PRE-LOADED SECTION' (could be one of those action execution order things)

No more a blocker, as we handle the exception now...

Implementing Sound.getBytesTotal() and Sound.getBytesLoaded() does make the SWF get off the loading screen.

The sound should not start playing immediately (it does), but rather wait for the play button to be pressed.

The slider at the bottom doesn't show the correct position (getPosition?), and the slideshow images don't change.

And I get

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gnash::SoundException'
  what():  Kann Aux-SDL-Audioausgabe nicht starten: No available audio device

when the audio device isn't available.

The BBC slideshow SWF, an example here:

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/news/nol/shared/spl/hi/audio_slideshow/kenadamptw/slideshow_629.swf

gets stuck on the loading frame, though the sound plays.

There are three UNIMPLEMENTEDs: Sound.getBytesLoaded(), Sound.getBytesTotal() and MovieClip._soundbuftime. The first two seem to be implemented in the Gnash Sound class, but not passed on to actionscript. MovieClip._soundbuftime just isn't implemented. "Fixing" the first two unfortunately doesn't fix the movie.

(this SWF is used a lot on the BBC site)
