Foobar2000 Wine
Foobar2000 Crashes on Library Scan
Seems to happen when adding hundreds of thousands of files at once, split in to smaller folders and/or only add parts of the library at a time.
Audio Cracking/Buffering Noises
Add PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=170 to your environment variables.
KDE/Plasma
Right click your foobar2000 desktop shortcut and press properties.
Add PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=170 to the Environment variables section like below.
Press OK and relaunch Foobar2000
Numbers less than 170 should work and will reduce audio latency, if you care about latency then keep reducing this number until the problem starts again.
Media Keys/Keyboard Keys
Media keys do not work natively, simulate them by making the following three scripts.
