Sound And QuickTime
A recent release of QuickTime has made the sound loop not loop very smoothly for Goldfish. Actually, it is rather bad. I just got a response from Apple about what to do about it, and I'll address the problem in September (I hope) along with adding some of the features I was working on this Spring.
Until then, there is a simple way to make the problem much less frequent. The Read Me refers to "SoundLengthLoop" and this is the key.
Open ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.prolific.LifeGlobe.GoldfishAquarium.*.plist using TextEdit. The '*' part will vary from computer to computer.
At the bottom you'll see lines that look like this:
</dict>
</plist>
Just before these two lines add the following two lines:
<key>SoundLoopLength</key>
<integer>60</integer>
That tells the sound loop to internally lengthen itself to 60 seconds, so the hiccup will only occur once a minute instead of every 7 seconds.
Personally, I turn off the sound immediately upon installation. Gap or no gap, I prefer silence.
