SSX - Custom music is not alway played

[SlyCooperReloadCoded]

Quick summary

Custom music plays loud buzzing instead of the custom music.

Details

As of PR 11560, SSX recognizes custom music in WAV/MP3 format as long as it's in an album, something that can be accomplished by putting tracks with metadata in dev_hdd0/music/albumnamegoeshere/. Once in the menus, it'll detect your custom album. However, once you get ingame, it'll play a constant ear-bursting buzzing noise. This buzzing noise actually warps and fades depending on what you're doing in the game, just like custom music is supposed to do, so it's clearly trying to play it. The log also spams "cellMusicDecode" messages and PR 11560 adds functionality for cellMusic, so it's likely something to do with that.

1. Please attach RPCS3's log.

That PR eliminates the buzzing... and any music along with it. No music at all, but the same messages are being spammed in the log.

Interesting update on this. Just for fun, I tried disabling Music Handler. It was still able to find and "play" my custom music. Seems this isn't related to the new feature?

[Megamouse]

The music handler has nothing to do with the decode

[Megamouse]

please try again with the latest build from #12324

Still does not work, however, the error is different this time:

E SYS: 'cellMusicDecodeRead2' failed with 0x8002c10b : CELL_MUSIC_DECODE_ERROR_NO_LPCM_DATA [1]

This gets printed to the log instead of the old error.

Well then upload the log
