First subsong of 'Spot' game doesn't play

[cyberic99]

After 2 seconds with no sound, gbsplay considers the song is finished.

Spot (1990)(Software Creations, Arcadia).gbs.zip

With a player based on GME (https://bitbucket.org/mpyne/game-music-emu), I can play the first subsong successfully.

MiniGBS (https://github.com/baines/MiniGBS) plays the first subsong too.

Tested on Linux with gbsplay 0.0.94-6-g34652b0.

Thank you!

The subsong in question starts with silence for a little more than 4 seconds. The default subsong timeout is 2 seconds so gbsplay skips the subsong as done. Works as designed :)

You could either set the subsong timeout to at least 5 seconds (-T 5) or disable it altogether (-T 0). This will of course also affect other songs.

This also works from the configuration file (eg. ~/.gbsplayrc) if you set subsong_timeout = 5 or subsong_timeout = 0.
