Public bug reported: ogmrip pipes a raw wav file into faac for audio encoding.
version 1.28+cvs20150510-1 of faac in 'wily' exits immediately in that case leading to a video without audio. version 1.28-0ubuntu2 of faac in 'precise' worked. I did not try the intermediate ubuntu releases. I looked at the code a bit and the attached patch solves it for me. How to reproduce: mkfifo /tmp/pipe.wav oggdec -R -b 16 /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg -o /tmp/pipe.wav & faac -P -R 48000 -C 2 -X -q 157 --mpeg-vers 4 -o /tmp/out.aac /tmp/pipe.wav without my patch the faac immediately exits without encoding anything, with my patch it encodes correctly.
