Bug#652615: flac: Does not change bit/rate as set at command line.
Package: flac Version: 1.2.1-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I try to compress to .flac .wav files having 24 bit, 96 kHz sound as follows: flac --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 -o 1.flac 1.wav the resutled .flac file has orignal bit/rate - noithing changed to the param.s . Please fix it. Thank You for Your work. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (900, 'stable-updates'), (900, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-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 flac depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libflac8 1.2.1-6 ii libogg0 1.2.2~dfsg-1 flac recommends no packages. flac suggests no packages. -- no debconf information ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

No, just as usual for some 16/44 files: flac 1.2.1, Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007 Josh Coalson flac comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

This would also explain why mplayer is unable to determine its bit rate. As for sample availability, I can but think it is of no worth - fot it is the case *for every file* that is more than 16/44. - The files being taken from very diver sources. May this will help to shed some light on the problem: mplayer2 ceased to show bit rate as follows: Detected file format: raw FLAC (libavformat) [flac @ 0xb90280]max_analyze_duration reached [lavf] stream 0: audio (flac), -aid 0 Load subtitles in /usr/local/share/.0/tmp/1/ == Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders AUDIO: 96000 Hz, 2 ch, s32le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->768000) Selected audio codec: [ffflac] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg FLAC audio) == AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s32le (4 bytes per sample) Here is 0.0 kbit - for mp3 files it worked OK.

It is (WARNING: legacy WAVE file has format type 1) absolutely useless message, it means nothing except that the file has been processed before by something (in my case it may be peak upleafting or something else) - the output is pretty good file. I can try another .wav that was not processed by something - the problem is that it be >16/44 - the message will disappear but the bug will remain. :o( >> May this will help to shed some light on the problem: mplayer2 ceased >> to show bit rate as follows: >> >> Detected file format: raw FLAC (libavformat) >> [flac @ 0xb90280]max_analyze_duration reached >> [lavf] stream 0: audio (flac), -aid 0 >> Load subtitles in /usr/local/share/.0/tmp/1/ >> == >> Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders >> AUDIO: 96000 Hz, 2 ch, s32le, 0.0 kbit/0.00% (ratio: 0->768000) >> Selected audio codec: [ffflac] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg FLAC audio) >> == >> AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s32le (4 bytes per sample) >> >> Here is 0.0 kbit - for mp3 files it worked OK. >> >> Any other info I can help with?

But I am not sure about this, either. I am tempted to say that resampling of WAVE files with these properties is not the purpose of the flac command line tool, but you may disagree. And even if so, I think this bug is something that deserves the attention of the upstream developers and shouldn't focus on the Debian package. I am not familiar with the code in question, but I believe that adding this feature might require some profound code changes. However, as a workaround, I'd like to ask you to try again with other sound converters that use libflac in order to exclude that the library itself is at fault, e.g. audacity or even sndfile-convert of the sndfile-programs package. - Fabian ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Yes. I have found the solution already w/ the package. Yet it helps flac w/ its appropriate param.s not at all. :o) I thnk the developers have either to remove the options from flac manual OR fix the bug. ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

There is no distinct rule about who should send reports to upstream. I can do that, of course, but if you happen to have a sourceforge account yourself, you might so it as well. Please note, however, that upstream seems to be dead for years and hasn't ever answered to any of my bug reports. Yes. I have found the solution already w/ the package. Yet it helps flac w/ its appropriate param.s not at all. :o) No, sure not. But it shows that at least the flac shared library is capable to encode audio data with rather "exotic" properties. I thnk the developers have either to remove the options from flac manual OR fix the bug. The feature (i.e. transcoding and encoding at once) is already there, it is merely not available for audio data with exotic properties. I think the right thing to do will be to extend the command line tool, instead of removing the feature. - Fabian ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
