Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: soundconverter
Installed soundconverter (0.9.1) through Synaptic, on Ubuntu Edgy. I
have the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-
multiverse packages installed, so LAME support should be fine.
The mp3 file which is created plays fine and is a sensible size, however
the length reported by my media player (Winamp on Windows) is incorrect.
Winamp thinks the file is a CBR file (even though the bitrate does
change during playback), and the length is reported as filesize /
bitrate (which is incorrect, as the bitrate is wrong here).
This is reproducible, using both Vorbis and Musepack files as input
(these are the only ones I've tried). Tell me if there's any useful
info I can attach here (I'm not attaching the entire mp3 file produced,
for copyright reasons).
** Affects: soundconverter (Ubuntu)
