Playback cuts the end off

[racitup]

Hi,

I've been using Audacity 1.3.12-beta under Ubuntu 10.04 for a while now and although it's a brilliant bit of kit I have an annoying issue.
I regularly open up .wav files and play them back. This works fine until Audacity gets to the end of the file or the end of a selection.
When the cursor gets to the end the playback stops as it should, but it would seem the actual audio stream is slightly behind the cursor and so the end of the audio doesn't get played. By the way we're only talking about 0.05 or 0.1 sec or so.
The beginning of the audio is not affected and always gets played from precisely wherever I put the cursor.

Are there any settings I can play with that keep the cursor in-sync with the audio stream?

Thanks,
Richard

The only real solution that I'm aware of is to use Audacity with Jack audio server. It will then play right up to the final sample of the selection.
Usually I just select a bit more than I need to hear.
