sc_trans xfade strange behaviour with <APIC>?

[helios399]

HI ALL,

I have a problem with the xfade parameter in configuration file of sc_trans
Some files don't fade in/out...

sc_trans.conf
xfade=5
xfadethreshold=30

After many tests I noticed that the cover art include the ID3V2 ( <APIC> tag) causes a strange behaviour of crossfading.

Debug sc_trans

When I remove the <APIC> tag, the fade in/out is functionnal again.
and errors E (debug) messages disappear

Is this the normal behaviour of sc_trans ?

Thanks
