WAV recording not finishing at the exact specified time

[ruby-R53]

When playing something, the player is able to finish at the exact point in time specified by the Songlength DB. However, if I record that same tune, either leaving the duration the same as the one in the SLDB or setting it to something different, it will always finish at a point that's a little after that specified time, and that extra amount of time will always be random.

This can be annoying, especially considering HVSC's SLDB is already a little off from the actual tune's duration most of the time. Why does that happen?

Maybe related to the random powerup delay? What about using --delay=0? Can you reproduce with the latest release?

nope same result with that

one other thing i noticed is that the extra amount of recording time is the exact same if i run sidplayfp with a script that dumps every channel individually, so i guess it's not completely random?

i mean, if i also run that same script once again with the same tune as before that amount also changes but it's kept the same across all related recordings···

Hmmm, this will be fun to debug... 😓
