Problem opening wavpack 4.22 files.

This problem is on my todo list since some weeks already... I hope to get some time to look at it before breezy :/
But from a first look this seems to be a problem upstream... at least the wavpack cli tools that use the same libraries work so I suspect a problem at the gstreamer-plugin side...

Can you please retest... it seems to work now in totem/rhythmbox... at least on i386

but gst-launch and gst-launch-ext don't want to play wavpack files so I filed a bug at the gstreamer bugtracker... maybe they can tell us something more ;)

I just tested with a fully updated i386 breezy install and I still get the segmentation fault. I Did a fresh install with a nightly cd dated 09/25/05 so its five days old but I made sure to update everything before the test. If there is some instructions you could give me to get you more detailed information I would be glad to help.

Can you upload such wavpack file somewhere so I can take a look at it?

Here is a rapidshare link for one of the wavpack files.

Good musical taste :)
I'll take a look at it

Ok, I can reproduce this... wvunpack works on that files so most probably broken gst plugin...
wvunpack and wavpack on this file again works too...

did you create the file? what settings for compression did you use?

I ripped and encoded the album as a backup, and used -hm as the string. Thats high compression with md5sums embedded into each file. I tried running a file without the md5sums embedded but the results were the same. I'm glad to see another black metal fan btw.

ok, I can easily reproduce this :/
it's the -h switch which causes the problems... I'll report upstream, hopefully we get this fixed for breezy

I would have never guessed it was the -h switch. I'm glad you were able to pinpoint the problem and hopefully with that info it won't be to hard to fix upstream.

Maybe you want to add a comment so they pay attention to that bug ;) Otherwise we won't get this fixed for breezy :(

I added a comment but there wasn't much I could say that you hadn't already said.

all wavpack related bugs shall be fixed with the gst-plugins-multiverse0.8 package I upload to dapper in a few minutes :)
please reopen otherwise
