Summary0005947: audible audio click/pop on crossfades with many region layers
DescriptionHi, I'm reporting a bug that was present in ardour 2+ too, but has become more difficult to workaround in A3. Just record a audio region, than record multiple region one on top of the other on the same track. At some point, ardour will start making audible audio pops when the layers cross each other (or just half a second after the crossfade). This always happens, regardless of CPU or DSP load, even when no plugins are present, and using all ardour default settings. In A2, I could right click on the crossfade and deactivate all but the right one (long but worked). In A3, there is no right click / deactivate crossfade option, so the only workaround I found so far is to lower/raise/delete layers until the pop goes away --> very long and frustrating. I guess nobody reported this because the audio pops are not easily heard (they are really short), but I am 100% sure they are there, and could potentially ruin a whole mix if noticed too late (sadly it happened to me once).

Maybe this is similar to bug 5953, which I reported recently. The pops are only 1 sample, so they are very difficult to get, I got one in a ballad without drums. If I move the start locator the pop disappears! And I found that the sample position is a number with 10 ones in binary. I used audacity to get the pop after I exported the session.
