Description Pothárn Imre 2013-12-04 21:22:20 UTC 
Since mp3 and m4a (AAC) encoded files did not play gaplessly in Amarok and Clementine - both using GStreamer as a backend, whereas other formats - wav, flac, ape, wavpack, alac, ogg (Vorbis) and opus - did, I checked with the latest GStreamer release, and checked gst-play-1.0 file1 file2.

And I found the same result as using Clementine. With the exception of mp3 and m4a (AAC), all formats were gapless.
The gap between mp3 and m4a (AAC) files is very short, but when listening to continuous music, it is clearly audible.
The same mp3 files play back gaplessly using mpg123, and both mp3 and m4a (AAC) files play back gaplessly in Foobar2000.
