Forums Bug Reports $sound().length and $insong.length bug

Thanks for your bug report. This issue is reported every so often. Unfortunately, the situation has not changed (see other thread). Windows has not updated its MCI sound support to handle VBR files, so there is little mIRC can do about it.

One possible option might be to switch from using MCI to DirectShow (which should hopefully handle VBR), however that would require a hefty rewrite of the sound playing routines/events.
