FS#12883 - Opus becomes unresponsive at lowest CPU frequency

After playing a few opus files (~128 kbps) the system becomes so unresponsive that it cannot decode the file in real time, and the device cannot respond to any input within a reasonable timeframe (have to hard power off).

This does not occur when you set the cpu frequency beyond the highest setting in the debug menu!

To reproduce:
play opus files in a playlist with normal cpu scaling
on beginning of 2nd or 3rd file, system will become unresponsive.

I am not certain, but I have a gut feeling that something during the frequency change is botched, rather than the low frequency itself being a problem.

this seems to be fixed with the recent updates

scratch that. I must have just been lucky. I charged the thing up and now the problem is as it was before

Does the problem still exist ? Can you link to a file which exhibit the problem so I can test it ?

I haven't had access to the Internet for a while, but my version is still fairly up to date (within three weeks old I would say). the issue still occurs, but I will update the version the next opportunity I get to say for sure that it occurs with the current version. The issue occurs in the transition between any two tracks as far as I can tell, always with the cpu frequency down. It is easier to reproduce when crossfade is used. The majority 90% of my library is Opus 128kbps, mostly on SD. I should mention, I'm playing back with 48khz sample rate.

I can confirm that the bug is still there with the latest git, also when using the corresponding bootloader. The first track change usually goes smoothly, however the second usually results in unresponsiveness

I've experienced this issue with Opus playback on my fuze+ for quite some time, too. I'm currently using firmware 98a69ec-150308 and the issue is still there. If the music wouldn't drop out shortly every few seconds, I probably wouldn't notice or maybe even don't mind that the controls are unresponsive. I can also confirm that by increasing the counter System → Debug → CPU Frequency to 1 after each power-on, the problem does not occur. So it's not like the Fuze+ doesn't have enough power to play Opus files, it's just that Rockbox doesn't seem to set the clockrate sufficiently.
