Description

As the title says, when I play an ogg file with ofSoundPlayer, there is a crackle, especially for louder parts of the track. I have tried setting the volume to low values but the crackle is still there. Converting the file to mp3 makes it play without the crackle.

System: Manjaro
OF version: v 0.11.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crackle with an OGG file played through ofSoundPlayer on Manjaro, including louder passages and low volume settings. Compare playback with the same track converted to MP3; done means OGG playback no longer produces the reported crackle.
