Bug Description
I used bugzilla to file a bug against sound-juicer. The sound-juicer team debugged the problem and sent me the following note:
"This is a bug in gstreamer that has been fixed in version 1.3.91. Bruce you could trying filing a ubuntu bug to see if they will patch gstreamer for you (commit e8d176c for gst-plugins-base)."
According to the sound-juicer debuggers, an m4a file is produced that is nearly correct, differing from a playable m4a at only a handful of byte locations.
This bug matters to me because I cannot use Rhythmbox (which uses sound-juicer) to rip CDs to m4a, one of the most common and efficient audio formats.
Thanks for your help.
