audacious2 refusing to play audiofiles

Hi there, I have installed audacious and audacious-plugins but when I try to play anything withit, it quits leaving quite a few lines on the commandline. All of that can be found here: http://pastebin.com/m7796ef76
So far I have been trying to play mp3, wma and ogg files.
I used to use audacious(1) for quite some time until like a year or two ago. Today I wanted to use it again and noticed, that audacious has "advanced" to version 2. :> Well I guess what I'm trying to say is that I do have the plugins installed and that it did work flawlessly in the past and that I have no clue why it's not working now anymore.
So thanks for your help :>

edit: Since according to the output things go haywire after the madplugin loses it's synchronisation (whatever that means) I went into audacious' prefferences to look for that plugin but I can't finde it in there.

Hello
What version you are using 2.0 or 2.1?
Audiofile is installed?

Hello hybrid!

I use this version without any problem, did you try to reinstall it ?
Do you use 32 or 64 bit version ?

Re: audacious2 refusing to play audiofiles

Yes, I have tried reinstalling all three packages (audacious, audacious-plugins and audiofile). But the problem persists.
I'm using the 32bit version on my 32bit Arch.

I think you have to try audacious-hq from AUR

Re: audacious2 refusing to play audiofiles

greetings!

today i finally decided to make some system upgrades and ran into the same problem with audacious2. Please try to open your settings and enter something other than zero into the box saying "buffer-size" (right below on the output plugin selector). I'm not sure if it has to be something else than zero, or if it has to be a value above 500 (read somewhere alsa-ng enforces a 500ms buffer). I just entered "600" and my sound files are being played again.
