Zack Lin

Worked on the xbmc/xbmc repository to enhance the stability and performance of the audio playback engine, focusing on scenarios involving tempo changes and seek operations. Addressed complex issues such as audio deadlocks, stalls, and ghost packet handling by refining timeout calculations and buffer duration logic. Leveraged C++ for low-level debugging and performance optimization, ensuring accurate synchronization and reliable playback during fast-forward and rewind actions. The work involved deep modifications to the ActiveAE audio engine, including resample ratio management and robust stream flushing. These targeted improvements reduced user-facing playback disruptions and improved the reliability of audio processing in video player development.
