NLayer MpegFile to SFML.Net SoundStream

Question

I'm currently working on SFML.Net to expand with mp3 support. Therefore I wrote a Stream class which uses NLayer MpegFile to decode the mp3.

public class Mp3StreamSFML : SoundStream
{
    private MpegFile mp3file;
    private int currentBufferSize;
    private short[] currentBuffer;

    public Mp3StreamSFML(String _filename)
    {
        mp3file = new MpegFile(_filename);
        Initialize((uint)mp3file.Channels, (uint)mp3file.SampleRate);
        currentBufferSize = 0;
        currentBuffer = new short[currentBufferSize];
    }

    #region implemented abstract members of SoundStream

    protected override bool OnGetData(out short[] samples)
    {
        if (currentBufferSize <= mp3file.Position)
        {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[512];
            if (mp3file.ReadSamples(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) > 0)
            {
                Array.Resize(ref currentBuffer, currentBuffer.Length + (buffer.Length / 2));
                Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer, 0, currentBuffer, currentBufferSize, buffer.Length);
                currentBufferSize = currentBuffer.Length;
            }
            samples = currentBuffer;
            return true;
        } 
        else
        {
            samples = currentBuffer;
            return false;
        }
    }

    protected override void OnSeek(TimeSpan timeOffset)
    {
        mp3file.Position = (long)timeOffset.TotalSeconds;
    }

    #endregion
}

I use it this way:

                try
                {
                    stream = new Mp3StreamSFML(this.objProgram.getObjCuesheet().getAudiofilePath(true));
                    stream.Play();
                    log.debug("samplerate = " + stream.SampleRate);
                }
                catch(Exception ex)
                {
                    log.fatal(ex.ToString());
                }

Unfortunately, there is not the correct sound played, its just "juttering" and sound really weird. What I'm doing wrong? Seems like a problem between the 2 Frameworks.

Thanks for your help. Sven

I also asked there, maybe someone can give me a hint, whats wrong. — Sven, Jun 10 '14 at 12:05
NLayer has almost no documentation and I'm new to it. Has no one worked with this framework before? — Sven, Jun 12 '14 at 06:46

Solved the problem this way:
