bug in DiskWriter plugin...

[Photo Fx]

The output plugin "Nullsoft DiskWriter v 1.0" fails to write the last file in a playlist. It creates the file, but with no information (0 KB). It only writes the file when a folowing one has been started.

This is really a pain in the ass, becuase I have to add an extra song at the end of each playlist when writing wav's for burning to CD. I also have to delete the extra file created for every batch of songs.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so, contact your local Winamp dealer for a solution.

Although I don't suffer from this problem, I know about another bug in the diskwriter. It crashes when DirectMusic plugin v0.6x tries to initialize it. I put a workaround into DM plugin a long time ago, but versions that mess it up are currently on Winamp.com and it would take centuries to update them.
To be a bit more technical: diskwriter seems to work only when output is opened straight from play() - it crashes when it's opened from another thread.


Hey, I've got a possible fix for this problem. Try this: http://www.geocities.com/pp_666/zips/out_acm.zip
