[QLab] MP3s on Leopard update

Just a quick update:

As some of you have reported, playing MP3 audio files is currently not  
working on Leopard.  After some number of seconds of playback, QLab  
will crash within the CoreAudio function MPEGAudioFile::ReadPackets  
that is used to read MP3 packets from an audio file.  (Always at the  
same location in the file.)

I have recently confirmed that this behavior is limited to Leopard.   
It does NOT occur on 10.4.   QLab still plays MP3 files correctly on  
10.4.

It would appear, therefore, that this may be a bug that has been  
introduced into CoreAudio in 10.5.  I have just filed a bug report  
about this issue with Apple.  I will update the list when this issue  
is resolved.

Thanks,
Chris
