Package: soundkonverter Version: 0.9.91-1 Severity: normal It's been a while since I used Soundkonverter, but in version 1.0.0beta2 I have noticed that I can no longer specify the exact LAME command line I need.
I suspect that the squiddly twiddly menu widgets corresponding to "Insane", "Quality: 0", and "Quality: 2" correspond to "--preset insane", "-V0", and "-V2", respectively, but without access to things like "--resample", "-q n", and various other things, the package is now literally completely useless to me. I guess I could fiddle with widgets for a couple of hours and use the process list to find out what it's passing to lame, but I know exactly what I need, and fighting with Soundkonverter until I persuade its new widgets to produce the desired command line is just going to take me longer than it will take to write this bug report and then manually decode, re-encode, and tag everything I'm working on right now. My use of Soundkonverter was 100% as a front-end to automate decoding of FLAC files and the subsequent tagging and organizing of MP3s for which I had absolute control of the LAME command line. Without the capability to control precisely and exactly every single LAME command line option, Soundkonverter is now just dead weight on my disk. Frankly, I couldn't care less what's on the "Simple" tab, but the "Detailed" tab is now just more confusing to beginner users and useless to me. I sincerely hope to see Soundkonverter ship in the future with the option once again to completely control the LAME command line. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages soundkonverter depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-8 GCC support library ii libkcddb4 4:4.4.5-1 CDDB library for KDE Platform (run ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-1 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkfile4 4:4.4.5-1 the File Selection Dialog Library ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-1 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-1 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-network 4:4.6.3-1 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-svg 4:4.6.3-1 Qt 4 SVG module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-1 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-1 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-1 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsolid4 4:4.4.5-1 Solid Library for KDE Platform ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtag1c2a 1.6.3-1 TagLib Audio Meta-Data Library Versions of packages soundkonverter recommends: ii cdda2wav 9:1.1.10-1 Dummy transition package for iceda ii cdparanoia 3.10.2+debian-9 audio extraction tool for sampling ii faad 2.7-4 freeware Advanced Audio Decoder pl pn ffmpeg <none> (no description available) ii flac 1.2.1-2+b1 Free Lossless Audio Codec - comman ii kdemultimedia-k 4:4.4.5-1 transparent audio CD access for ap ii mp3gain 1.5.1-3 Lossless mp3 normalizer with stati ii mplayer 2:1.0~rc3++final.dfsg1-1 movie player for Unix-like systems ii mppenc 1.16-1 Musepack lossy audio codec encoder ii speex 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex codec command line tools ii timidity 2.13.2-39+b1 Software sound renderer (MIDI sequ ii vorbis-tools 1.4.0-1 several Ogg Vorbis tools ii vorbisgain 0.36-3.1 add Replay Gain volume tags to Ogg ii wavpack 4.60.1-1 an audio codec (lossy and lossless soundkonverter suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
