Description
For example, if you export a song that should be exactly 40 seconds long, if your buffer size in LMMS is 64 frames, the resulting file will be short of 40 seconds by more than 30 frames, and increasing the buffer size will make it shorter by even more frames. This affects the end of the file, not the beginning.

Research direction
Start by reproducing a 40-second export with a 64-frame buffer and compare the resulting duration with the requested length for WAV, FLAC, and OGG. Check whether increasing the buffer changes the missing tail; done means exported files retain the requested duration across buffer sizes and formats.
