package: csound severity: important justification: Stretch regression with no work around without code changes version: 1:6.12.2~dfsg-3 tags: patch, fixed-upstream, upstream
Hi. In https://github.com/csound/csound/issues/1119 I reported an issue. In stretch, if you want to deal with a file that doesn't match the orchestra sample rate in diskgrain, you have to do all the work in your orchestra. Between stretch and buster upstream tried to improve it but got a couple of things wrong: * Most seriously, they handle the initial file seek according to the orchestra sr not the file sr. So there will be a jump of uncontrollable length when the first file buffer is exausted. * They scale the pitch but not the pointer read rate, so the orchestra still has to know about the gap. This is fixed in f23c45efcef upstream. I confirmed that code change works against the upstream code base and the Debian code base. I'd like to try and get an unblock to get this into buster. I want your support obviously before trying to do that. I'm happy to do everything (prepare a package; upload; file an unblock), simply write the unblock justification, sit back and let you deal, or accept that you don't think this is worth trying to get an unblock for. My justification for the unblock is that it's a well-constrained change, something that is possible in stretch is entirely impossible in the current buster code, and there is an easy fix. --Sam
