Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libshout3
This issue is related to Debian bug 490070: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490070 Affected Applications: 1. DarkIce 2. liquidsoap 3. idjc 4. Development versions of mpd 5. xmms2-plugin-ices 6. vlc-nox 7. ezstream 8. gstreamer-plugins-good (and any applications that stream using gstreamer, such as flumotion) The history is thus: 1. Intrepid pulled in a Debian update to libshout3, version 2.2.2-4, which purported to fix an issue for some user. This "fix" has no documented advantages, but it has a *major* regression: the mp3 streaming functionality of libshout3 is completely broken. The only change is in src/mp3.c, line 320: - if(mh->layer != 2) + if(mh->layer != 2 || mh->layer != 1) If the statement is true, the function returns silently with a 0 exit code, indicating success. However, the stream is not actually sent. 2. In Jaunty, we pulled in the Debian update to libshout3 2.2.2-5. The *only* change in this package update is that one line of code is reverted back to the original. The end-user impact is thus: 1. In Intrepid, all of the above "Affected Applications" can not stream mp3 data to an icecast/icecast2 server. I am requesting a Stable Release Update (SRU) for this problem. I have read the guidelines at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and believe this satisfies the criteria as follows: 1. "Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusable, like being uninstallable or crashing on startup." 2. "Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel)." Both (1) and (2). 3. The bug is indeed fixed in Jaunty. libshout3 2.2.2-5. 4. libshout3 2.2.2-5 does not make any other changes besides this one fix, and the original sources have not changed. TEST CASE: 1. Install icecast2, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse, and gstreamer0.10-tools. 2. Configure icecast2 to have an mp3 mount point, by editing /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml. For example, add the following lines within the <icecast></icecast> element: <mount> <mount-name>/test.mp3</mount-name> <username>source</username> <password>bugtest</password> <max-listeners>1</max-listeners> <burst-size>65536</burst-size> <hidden>1</hidden> <no-yp>1</no-yp> </mount> 3. Edit /etc/default/icecast2 and uncomment the line reading "ENABLE=true". 4. Start icecast2 by running `sudo /etc/init.d/icecast2 start` 5. Launch these three commands in sequence, as a user (not root): `gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! lame ! shout2send ip=localhost port=8000 password=bugtest username=source mount=/test.mp3 &` `sleep 5` `gst-launch-0.10 souphttpsrc location=http://localhost:8000/test.mp3 ! decodebin2 ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink` You should *not* hear sound, if you are running Ubuntu Intrepid and thus using libshout3 2.2.2-4. You may also receive an error message. If you are running any other version of Ubuntu, you *should* hear sound (a tone similar to what you hear when you do an audio test in Gnome's Sound panel). Press Ctrl+C to stop. ** Affects: libshout (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 490070 debian mp3 regression streaming -- SRU Request: libshout3 in intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
